Artex removal for Studley Green
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Artex removal in Studley Green
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Common materials are textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and structural work through coated ceilings.
Village homes like those in Studley Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Studley Green
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Studley Green homes?
If your home in Studley Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my textured ceiling in Studley Green asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
