Artex removal near Wendover
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and flaking textured ceilings, including stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In a smaller place like Wendover, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Wendover
Do textured ceilings in Wendover homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Wendover station?
Yes. Wendover station is close to the centre of Wendover, and we cover the whole area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wendover
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If you are refurbishing a rental near Wendover station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Before booking anyone
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
