About our artex removal in Great Haseley
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical jobs include landlord refurbishments and loft conversions, including textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Great Haseley have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Great Haseley
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Walls before tiling
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in Great Haseley, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples

Questions from Great Haseley
Is asbestos common in Great Haseley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Great Haseley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
