Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
For a school such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Chinnor questions
Do you cover Chinnor from London?
We cover Chinnor, about 38 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Chinnor homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chinnor can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
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 contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
- Approximate dimensions
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
