Artex removal in Milton Keynes: what to expect

Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Milton Keynes, 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. People often contact us about ceilings before skimming and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.

Our team wears protective equipment, and the room stays closed.

Duty holders and landlords in Milton Keynes

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

If you manage or own a block in Milton Keynes, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Doing it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Milton Keynes questions

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Is my textured ceiling in Milton Keynes asbestos?

Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

How much does Artex removal cost in Milton Keynes?

Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always.
