Artex removal near Snoll Hatch
Artex removal for Snoll Hatch properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. We often deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings already disturbed.
Village homes like those in Snoll Hatch have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Snoll Hatch questions
Is asbestos common in Snoll Hatch homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Snoll Hatch may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Snoll Hatch?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Labels, if any
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What we deal with in Snoll Hatch
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If you are refurbishing a rental near Beltring station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
