Artex removal for Lacey Green properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings before plastering, including textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Lacey Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Lacey Green
Do textured ceilings in Lacey Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Lacey Green and the area towards Saunderton station, about 1.5 miles south-west.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
