Artex removal in Spurlands End
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Spurlands End have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Spurlands End questions
Do you cover Spurlands End and the area around Great Missenden station?
Yes. Great Missenden station is about 2.3 miles north of Spurlands End, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Spurlands End have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
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, such as testing several materials at once.

Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
