How artex removal works in Bockmer End
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings in the way of electrical work, including swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
In areas like Bockmer End, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bockmer End
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
A school like Danesfield School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Your questions about Artex removal in Bockmer End
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, we cover Bockmer End and the area towards Marlow station, about 2.8 miles east.
Do you cover Bockmer End?

Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

- Book your plasterer after removal

What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
