Artex removal near Chackmore
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Artex removal in Chackmore
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
Village homes like those in Chackmore have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Chackmore: your questions answered
Do older homes in Chackmore have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Chackmore from London?
We cover Chackmore, about 53 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us room sizes
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings scraped during DIY
In older homes in Chackmore, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

For businesses and landlords in Chackmore
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
