Your questions about Artex removal in Holmer Green
Is asbestos common in Holmer Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
About our artex removal in Holmer Green
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
In a smaller place like Holmer Green, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Holmer Green
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If you are refurbishing flats near Great Missenden station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How it works
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Warn neighbours if needed

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Holmer Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
