Artex removal in Ley Hill
How artex removal works in Ley Hill
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented flats before redecoration, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Ley Hill have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Ley Hill
Do you work near Chalfont & Latimer station?
Yes. Chalfont & Latimer station is about 2.7 miles south of Ley Hill, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Ley Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ley Hill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
