About our artex removal in Hurstpierpoint
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Hurstpierpoint. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings scraped during DIY, including stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In Hurstpierpoint, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Hurstpierpoint
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hurstpierpoint, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Hurstpierpoint
Do you cover Hurstpierpoint from London?
Hurstpierpoint is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Hurstpierpoint home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
