About our artex removal in Inhurst
Planning a renovation in Inhurst with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about loft conversions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Village homes like those in Inhurst have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Weighing up your options
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Your questions about Artex removal in Inhurst
How far is Inhurst from London?
Inhurst is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Inhurst homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Inhurst can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is my textured ceiling in Inhurst asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
