About our artex removal in Quainton
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In places like Quainton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Duty holders and landlords in Quainton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

- Damaged or cracked coatings

Common questions in Quainton
Do you cover Quainton from London?
We cover Quainton, about 44 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Quainton homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
