Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Your questions about Artex removal in Chesham Bois
Is asbestos common in Chesham Bois homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chesham Bois can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

For businesses and landlords in Chesham Bois
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
