Artex removal in Hyde
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings damaged by leaks, involving stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Homes in places like Hyde may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Hyde
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
For rented flats close to Winchester station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Questions from Hyde
Is asbestos common in Hyde homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hyde may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hyde and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Hyde, including the streets around Winchester station.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which option is right?
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear written quotes
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
See our prices page and published price ranges.
After we’ve finished in Hyde
Covered coatings should be recorded.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
What affects the price in Hyde
The cost depends on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
- Licensed or non-licensed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- The parking area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hyde, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
