Artex removal near Cufaude
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings before skimming and ceilings before downlights go in, involving stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Cufaude, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Some practical advice:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- Material and condition
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
- Labels, if any
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Loft conversions
In older homes in Cufaude, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before you book
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Cufaude: your questions answered
How far is Cufaude from London?
We cover Cufaude, about 44 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Cufaude home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
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.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is my textured ceiling in Cufaude asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
