Artex removal near Chalfont Common
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and ceilings before plastering, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Chalfont Common have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Chalfont Common properties and textured coatings
Chalfont Common is about 1 mile north of Chalfont St Peter, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Chalfont Common as part of Buckinghamshire, whatever the size of the job. We work in all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire. You can also see our page for London, about 21 miles away.
A school like Robertswood School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. If you’re refurbishing a rental near Gerrards Cross station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
This part of Buckinghamshire takes in SL9, and your Artex job can be anywhere in it. Whether your property is on Chesham Lane, Monument Lane and Mid Cross Lane or a nearby road, the process is the same. We also carry out Artex jobs in Horn Hill (1 mile east), Chalfont St Peter (1 mile south) and Chalfont St Giles (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover High Wycombe (8 miles west), Chesham (7 miles north), Marlow (10 miles west), Amersham (4 miles north-west), Beaconsfield (4 miles west) and Princes Risborough (14 miles north-west).

Why people call us in Chalfont Common
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
Older homes across Chalfont Common may have coatings added during past renovations.
Before booking anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Covering London and the South East

Good to know
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Chalfont Common
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Chalfont Common: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Chalfont Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Chalfont Common contain asbestos?
Any home in Chalfont Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
