Artex removal in Little Ickford
How we price Artex removal
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Artex removal in Little Ickford
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Little Ickford. We often deal with coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and people normally contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and coatings scraped during DIY.
Village homes like those in Little Ickford have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Little Ickford questions
Do you cover Little Ickford and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 4.9 miles east of Little Ickford, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Little Ickford homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

What else we do in Little Ickford
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
How we work
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Mention any damage before we arrive
