Bucks Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Bucks Green and the area around Christs Hospital station?
Yes, we cover Bucks Green and the area towards Christs Hospital station, about 4.8 miles south-east.
Is the Artex in my Bucks Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Options to consider in Bucks Green
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
