Artex removal near Wolverton
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Wolverton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Wolverton
Do older homes in Wolverton have asbestos?
If your home in Wolverton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Wolverton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is my textured ceiling in Wolverton asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
