Asbestos help in Saunderton
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
About our artex removal in Saunderton
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and loft conversions, including coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Saunderton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Saunderton: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Saunderton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
