Asbestos help in Seer Green
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Artex removal in Seer Green
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about ceilings before skimming and flaking textured ceilings, involving textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Seer Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Seer Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Your questions about Artex removal in Seer Green
Is asbestos common in Seer Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Typical Artex jobs in Seer Green
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
For rented flats close to Seer Green & Jordans station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The method and controls
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Access to the area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
