Artex removal for Great Hampden properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Great Hampden, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Great Hampden, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. The work area is kept clear while we are working.

- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped

Your questions about Artex removal in Great Hampden
Do you work near Great Missenden station?
Yes, we cover Great Hampden and the area towards Great Missenden station, about 2.6 miles east.
How far is Great Hampden from London?
Great Hampden is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Great Hampden
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
For rented flats close to Great Missenden station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
What to look for in a quote

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
