About our artex removal in Upper Winchendon
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Upper Winchendon. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and textured walls before a refit.
Village homes like those in Upper Winchendon have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

How far is Upper Winchendon from London?
Upper Winchendon is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Upper Winchendon contain asbestos?
If your home in Upper Winchendon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you cover Upper Winchendon?
We do: Upper Winchendon is within the area we cover in Buckinghamshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Domestic and commercial work

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Upper Winchendon were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
How it works
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. The work area is kept clear while we are working.
- Get in touch with photos
- We test a sample of each coating
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Dig out previous surveys
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
