Common questions in Moulsoe
Do textured ceilings in Moulsoe homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Woburn Sands station?
Yes, we cover Moulsoe and the area towards Woburn Sands station, about 3.5 miles south.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What affects the price in Moulsoe
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
- The access route
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Loft conversions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before tiling
Older homes across Moulsoe may have coatings added during past renovations.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the test result and waste note
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better.
