What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep the results and paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Before we arrive

Helpful guides
Common questions in Great Brickhill
Do you cover Great Brickhill from London?
Great Brickhill is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Great Brickhill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is my textured ceiling in Great Brickhill asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What we deal with in Great Brickhill
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Non-domestic buildings like High Ash Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

- The documents you will receive
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What category of work it is
