Asbestos help in Enton Green
Artex removal near Enton Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Enton Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and people usually contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Village homes like those in Enton Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Step by step
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Ensure we can get to the area

Common questions in Enton Green
How far is Enton Green from London?
Enton Green is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Enton Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
The scope of Artex removal
Before you book, note that:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Enton Green
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings

Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
A school like The Chandler CofE Aided Junior School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
