Asbestos help in Wildhern
How artex removal works in Wildhern
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. From walls before tiling and structural work through coated ceilings, we cover coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Wildhern have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Wildhern questions
Do you cover Wildhern from London?
We cover Wildhern, about 63 miles from central London.
Could my house in Wildhern contain asbestos?
If your home in Wildhern was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
How we price Artex removal
When we quote, we look at:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- Travel and parking
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
How we work
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
