Artex removal for Cryers Hill properties
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. We often deal with Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
In areas like Cryers Hill, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Cryers Hill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Cryers Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cryers Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The process
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear the way to the work area
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

What we deal with in Cryers Hill
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before plastering
A school like Great Kingshill Church of England Combined School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
