Artex removal for Priestwood Green
Artex removal near Priestwood Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Priestwood Green, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and coatings damaged by DIY.
Village homes like those in Priestwood Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Priestwood Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Priestwood Green homes?
Any home in Priestwood Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Priestwood Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is my textured ceiling in Priestwood Green asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in Priestwood Green, near Church of Our Lady of the Meadow or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
