Artex removal for Water Eaton properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In a smaller place like Water Eaton, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Water Eaton
Do you cover Water Eaton from London?
We cover Water Eaton, about 43 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Water Eaton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Water Eaton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you cover Water Eaton?
Yes. We cover Water Eaton and the surrounding area as part of Milton Keynes. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is my textured ceiling in Water Eaton asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.

Which option is right?

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After we have finished:
- Test every different coating
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
