Artex removal near Cuddesdon
How artex removal works in Cuddesdon
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 in the way of electrical work and landlord refurbishments, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Cuddesdon have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Cuddesdon
Do textured ceilings in Cuddesdon homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Cuddesdon from London?
We cover Cuddesdon, about 47 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
