Artex removal for Wendover Dean properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and damaged or cracked coatings, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Wendover Dean have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Why people call us in Wendover Dean
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
A school like John Colet School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Any exclusions
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- The category of work
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is

Wendover Dean questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Wendover Dean and the area around Wendover station?
Yes. Wendover station is about 2 miles north-west of Wendover Dean, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
