How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement

Each job is priced individually. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard

Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Chearsley
Many trades want a test result first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For rented flats close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
