Asbestos help in Cores End
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
About our artex removal in Cores End
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. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and damaged or cracked coatings, involving coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
In areas like Cores End, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Going forward:
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date

Cores End: your questions answered
Do you work near Bourne End station?
Yes, we cover Cores End, including the streets around Bourne End station.
Do older homes in Cores End have asbestos?
If your home in Cores End was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you cover Cores End?
Yes, we do: Cores End is within the area we cover in Buckinghamshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Towns and villages near Cores End
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings damaged by DIY
In older homes in Cores End, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How fibres will be kept down
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
