About our artex removal in Higher Denham
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and landlord refurbishments.
Rural homes near Higher Denham have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Higher Denham: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Higher Denham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Higher Denham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Higher Denham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Your options compared
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
