About our artex removal in Hyde End
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Whether it’s ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Hyde End have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Hyde End: your questions answered
Could my house in Hyde End contain asbestos?
Any home in Hyde End built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Hyde End from London?
We cover Hyde End, about 28 miles from central London.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
