How artex removal works in Maynard's Green
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Maynard's Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Doing 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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we’ve finished in Maynard's Green
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

FAQs for Maynard's Green
How far is Maynard's Green from London?
Maynard's Green is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Maynard's Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
