Artex removal in Weston Turville
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Weston Turville, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. From ceilings before skimming and coatings already disturbed, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In places like Weston Turville, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. We only recommend work that is needed.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

What we deal with in Weston Turville
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before tiling
In older homes in Weston Turville, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Common questions in Weston Turville
Could my house in Weston Turville contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Weston Turville home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
