Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Artex removal for Wavendon properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people usually contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
In a village like Wavendon, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wavendon
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Woburn Sands station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What category of work it is
- What paperwork you get
Choosing the right option

After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

FAQs for Wavendon
Do textured ceilings in Wavendon homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Wavendon and the area around Woburn Sands station?
Yes. Woburn Sands station is about 0.9 miles south-east of Wavendon, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
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.
