Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.

FAQs for Tingrith
Do you cover Tingrith from London?
We cover Tingrith, about 38 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Tingrith home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work in Tingrith?
We do: Tingrith is within the area we cover in Milton Keynes. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Helpful guides
Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
The scope of Artex removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
