About our artex removal in Willen
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Village homes like those in Willen have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

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.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Typical Artex jobs in Willen
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Damaged or cracked coatings
For rented flats close to Milton Keynes Central station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Any exclusions
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
A few practical points:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

Weighing up your options
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
