About our artex removal in Pitchcott
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and flaking textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Pitchcott have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Pitchcott
Do you cover Pitchcott and the area around Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Pitchcott and the area towards Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 3.3 miles south.
Could my house in Pitchcott contain asbestos?
If your home in Pitchcott was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Pitchcott
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard

What it might be made of
Patched areas

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
