Artex removal in Terrick
About our artex removal in Terrick
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Terrick have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Terrick properties and textured coatings
Terrick is about 4 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Properties in Terrick range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Terrick is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we work. Our area stretches from Terrick to Oxford (about 19 miles away).
Older homes across Terrick may have coatings added during past renovations. If you are refurbishing a rental near Little Kimble station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 2 miles of Terrick, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Terrick questions
Do you cover small places like Terrick?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Little Kimble station?
Yes. Little Kimble station is about 1.3 miles south-west of Terrick, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
