How artex removal works in Burcott
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. From ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
In areas like Burcott, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
How we work
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

FAQs for Burcott
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Aylesbury station?
Yes, we cover Burcott and the area towards Aylesbury station, about 1.9 miles south-west.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
