Terriers properties and textured coatings
Terriers is about 1 mile north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Properties in Terriers range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire. You can also see our page for Reading, about 17 miles away.
Non-domestic buildings like The Royal Grammar School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 5 miles of Terriers; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.

What else we do in Terriers
Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos help us quote
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Our quotes take into account:

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Terriers: your questions answered
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.
Do you cover Terriers from London?
Terriers is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you work in Terriers?
Yes. We cover Terriers and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Duty holders and landlords in Terriers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
For managing agents and freeholders in Terriers, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Terriers
Many trades want a test result first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before plastering
Older homes across Terriers may have coatings added during past renovations.
