Artex removal in Stonor
Why people call us in Stonor
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If your home is one of the older properties in Stonor, near Pishill Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Artex removal in Stonor
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings already disturbed, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns and more.
In places like Stonor, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What affects the price in Stonor
Quotes vary because of:
- Material and condition

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stonor must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After the job
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
A few practical points:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Weighing up your options
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Records for your files

How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
