How artex removal works in Medmenham
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From damaged or cracked coatings and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
Village homes like those in Medmenham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Medmenham
Do you cover Medmenham and the area around Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. Henley-On-Thames station is about 2.9 miles south-west of Medmenham, and we cover both.
Do you cover Medmenham from London?
We cover Medmenham, about 32 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
