Typical Artex jobs in Dane Hill
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings already disturbed
Older homes across Dane Hill may have coatings added during past renovations.

Dane Hill questions
Do you cover small places like Dane Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Dane Hill and the area around Heyford station?
Yes. Heyford station is about 3 miles south of Dane Hill, and we cover both.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Duty holders and landlords in Dane Hill
If you manage or own a block in Dane Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dane Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
