Artex removal in Hedsor
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and coatings scraped during DIY.
Rural homes near Hedsor have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Some practical advice:

Don’ts

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Your questions about Artex removal in Hedsor
Do you cover Hedsor and the area around Bourne End station?
Yes. Bourne End station is about 1 mile west of Hedsor, and we cover both.
How far is Hedsor from London?
We cover Hedsor, about 26 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hedsor?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
