How artex removal works in Edgcott
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Edgcott have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Edgcott
Could my house in Edgcott contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Edgcott can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Edgcott from London?
Edgcott is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before tiling
A school like Grendon Underwood Combined School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
