Artex removal for Chesham
Artex removal near Chesham
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From loft conversions and extensions and damaged or cracked coatings, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
In Chesham, textured walls turn up as well as ceilings, and both can be tested. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
