How artex removal works in Stony Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
Rural homes near Stony Green have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Stony Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Stony Green and the area around Great Missenden station?
Yes. Great Missenden station is about 2.1 miles north-east of Stony Green, and we cover both.
Is the Artex in my Stony Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is my textured ceiling in Stony Green asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
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.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.

Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Coatings damaged by leaks
For a school such as Prestwood Junior School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Before you book anyone
- Any exclusions
- VAT, clearly stated
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Covering London and the South East
- Records for your files
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

After we’ve finished in Stony Green
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets away

What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
