About our artex removal in Buckskin
Planning a renovation in Buckskin with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Common materials are coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
In places like Buckskin, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about Artex removal in Buckskin
Is the Artex in my Buckskin home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Buckskin from London?
Buckskin is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How we work
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Buckskin must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Buckskin
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Non-domestic buildings like Chiltern Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What paperwork you get
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings

What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Some practical advice:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
