Artex removal for Rout's Green
Artex removal near Rout's Green
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and people normally contact us about coatings already disturbed and textured walls before a refit.
In towns and villages like Rout's Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Rout's Green questions
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Rout's Green and the area towards Saunderton station, about 1.5 miles east.
Do older homes in Rout's Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What else we do in Rout's Green
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Loft conversions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If you are refurbishing a rental near Saunderton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear advice on your options
- Reports and results you can share
