Artex removal for Wooburn Green properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings damaged by DIY.
In Wooburn Green, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
