Artex removal near Denham
Artex removal near Denham
If your renovation in Denham involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people usually contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before skimming.
Rural homes near Denham have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.

Questions from Denham
Do you cover Denham and the area around Denham station?
Yes. Denham station is about 0.7 miles north of Denham, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Denham homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
For a school such as Denham Village School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
