About our artex removal in Fenny Stratford
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns and more.
In areas like Fenny Stratford, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Textured walls before a refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Fenny Stratford, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fenny Stratford: your questions answered
Do you cover Fenny Stratford from London?
We cover Fenny Stratford, about 43 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Fenny Stratford homes?
Any home in Fenny Stratford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
