Artex removal for Hyde Park Estate properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical materials include textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Hyde Park Estate, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Keeping things safe:

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Common questions in Hyde Park Estate
Is the Artex in my Hyde Park Estate home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Hyde Park Estate contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hyde Park Estate may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
