Artex removal around Bierton
Bierton is about 2 miles north-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Bierton is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We cover all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. Our area stretches from Bierton to Oxford (about 20 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Bierton, near Church of St James or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. If you’re refurbishing a rental near Aylesbury station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 6 miles of Bierton; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
The process
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell us about parking and access

Bierton questions
Do you come out to small villages like Bierton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Aylesbury station?
Yes. Aylesbury station is about 1.8 miles south-west of Bierton, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
For a school such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before you book

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Weighing up your options
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
