Artex removal for Cuddington
About our artex removal in Cuddington
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings already disturbed.
In areas like Cuddington, 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.

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Cuddington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The scope of Artex removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

Questions from Cuddington
Do you cover Cuddington and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 1.7 miles south of Cuddington, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Cuddington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you work in Cuddington?
Yes, Cuddington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
