Artex removal for Stoke Hammond properties
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, which is why testing first matters in Stoke Hammond. Whether it’s ceilings before plastering and coatings damaged by leaks, we cover coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Stoke Hammond have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Stoke Hammond questions
Do textured ceilings in Stoke Hammond homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Stoke Hammond?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Sir Herbert Leon Academy, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Before you book anyone

- How the work will be done, and the controls used
