Artex removal for Widmer End properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about textured walls before a refit and structural work through coated ceilings, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Widmer End, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Widmer End, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- The size of the job
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Your questions about Artex removal in Widmer End
How far is Widmer End from London?
We cover Widmer End, about 29 miles from central London.
Do you work near High Wycombe station?
Yes. High Wycombe station is about 2.6 miles south-west of Widmer End, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
