Artex removal in Ashley Green
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings and more.
In towns and villages like Ashley Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Ashley Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Ashley Green: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Ashley Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Ashley Green
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings coming down
For a school such as Ashlyns School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
