About our artex removal in Simpson
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Simpson. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about walls before tiling and rented flats before redecoration.
Village homes like those in Simpson have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

For rented flats close to Bow Brickhill station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. A school like Charles Warren Academy should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.

Common questions in Simpson
Do you cover Simpson from London?
Simpson is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Bow Brickhill station?
Yes, we cover Simpson and the area towards Bow Brickhill station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Which option is right?
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
