Artex removal in Buscot
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Buscot. Common materials are coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and ceilings before downlights go in.
In a village like Buscot, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What affects the price in Buscot
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Questions from Buscot
Is asbestos common in Buscot homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Buscot from London?
Buscot is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Test every different coating
- Photos help us quote
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
