Typical Artex jobs in Wolverton Common
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For rented flats close to Midgham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Questions from Wolverton Common
Do you cover small places like Wolverton Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Wolverton Common from London?
Wolverton Common is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
