Artex removal in Bellingdon
Artex removal for Bellingdon properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From damaged or cracked coatings and walls before tiling, we cover stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Bellingdon have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about Artex removal in Bellingdon
Do you cover small places like Bellingdon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How much does Artex removal cost in Bellingdon?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
