How artex removal works in Chilton
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings before plastering, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls.
In places like Chilton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Chilton
How far is Chilton from London?
Chilton is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Chilton and the area towards Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 3.1 miles south-east.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
For businesses and landlords in Chilton
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What happens
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Accredited laboratory results
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear written quotes
Read how we quote or the cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

The cost depends on:
- Access to the area

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Chilton
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions and extensions

If you’re refurbishing a rental near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
