About our artex removal in Drayton Parslow
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Drayton Parslow have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Why people call us in Drayton Parslow
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.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Textured walls before a refit
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Bletchley station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Your questions about Artex removal in Drayton Parslow
Do you cover Drayton Parslow and the area around Bletchley station?
Yes. Bletchley station is about 3.7 miles north-east of Drayton Parslow, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Drayton Parslow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
A few practical points:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
