About our artex removal in Great Linford
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Whether it’s ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and flaking textured ceilings, we cover stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In a smaller place like Great Linford, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Great Linford: your questions answered
Do you cover Great Linford from London?
We cover Great Linford, about 49 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Great Linford home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How much does Artex removal cost in Great Linford?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Give us room sizes
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings

Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
