Artex removal for West Hanney properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in West Hanney, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about textured walls before a refit and structural work through coated ceilings.
Rural homes near West Hanney have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

Common questions in West Hanney
How far is West Hanney from London?
We cover West Hanney, about 57 miles from central London.
Could my house in West Hanney contain asbestos?
If your home in West Hanney was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
