Artex removal for Maids Moreton
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Artex removal for Maids Moreton properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings coming down, including coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Maids Moreton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Do you cover small places like Maids Moreton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Maids Moreton home asbestos?

Yes. We cover Maids Moreton and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
