About our artex removal in Saunderton Lee
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and flaking textured ceilings, involving swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Saunderton Lee have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about Artex removal in Saunderton Lee
Do you cover Saunderton Lee from London?
Saunderton Lee is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Saunderton Lee homes?
Any home in Saunderton Lee built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you cover Saunderton Lee?
Yes. We cover Saunderton Lee and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
For businesses and landlords in Saunderton Lee
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Saunderton Lee
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Saunderton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Questions to ask before booking
