How artex removal works in Upper Wield
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and textured walls before a refit.
Rural homes near Upper Wield have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

For businesses and landlords in Upper Wield
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Upper Wield, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Questions from Upper Wield
How far is Upper Wield from London?
We cover Upper Wield, about 50 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Wield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much there is
- The survey scope
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
