Artex removal for Buckland
About our artex removal in Buckland
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Buckland have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Questions from Buckland
Is the Artex in my Buckland home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Buckland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Buckland?
Yes, Buckland is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
