About our artex removal in North Marston

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Whether it’s ceilings before plastering and landlord refurbishments, we cover Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes and more.

Rural homes near North Marston have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Doing it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

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.

Options to consider in North Marston

What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Why choose us

  • Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Written quotes that say what’s included

  • Landlord refurbishments
  • Coatings already disturbed

  • What paperwork you get
  • Any exclusions

Responsibilities for owners

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

North Marston questions

Do you work near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?

Yes. Aylesbury Vale Parkway station is about 4.7 miles south of North Marston, and we cover both.

Do you cover North Marston from London?

North Marston is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

Do you cover North Marston?

We do: North Marston is within the area we cover in Buckinghamshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

Is it OK to scrape off Artex?

Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

The process

We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. We plan the removal and send a quote
  4. We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
  5. The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
