Artex removal for Moreton properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From textured walls before a refit and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Moreton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Questions from Moreton
Do you cover Moreton and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 3.2 miles north-east of Moreton, and we cover both.
Do you cover Moreton from London?
Moreton is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
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, then contact a professional.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
You will get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
How we work
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Warn neighbours if needed

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Once we are done:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
