Artex removal for Naphill properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In towns and villages like Naphill, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about Artex removal in Naphill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Naphill and the area around Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Naphill and the area towards Saunderton station, about 2.1 miles west.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
For businesses and landlords in Naphill
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Naphill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Why people call us in Naphill
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
Non-domestic buildings like Naphill and Walters Ash School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Before you book anyone
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The documents you’ll receive
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
