Artex removal in Walton
About our artex removal in Walton
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and coatings damaged by DIY, including textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
In areas like Walton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The process
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Before we arrive
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions

FAQs for Walton
Is asbestos common in Walton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Walton from London?
Walton is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Walton asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Typical Artex jobs in Walton
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Aylesbury High School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
