How artex removal works in North Hinksey
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
In towns and villages like North Hinksey, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about Artex removal in North Hinksey
Do textured ceilings in North Hinksey homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover North Hinksey from London?
North Hinksey is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How much does Artex removal cost in North Hinksey?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Typical Artex jobs in North Hinksey
