Artex removal for Wycombe Marsh properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and loft conversions and extensions, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Wycombe Marsh have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Your questions about Artex removal in Wycombe Marsh
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near High Wycombe station?
Yes, we cover Wycombe Marsh and the area towards High Wycombe station, about 1.3 miles north-west.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.

What else we do in Wycombe Marsh
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Wycombe Marsh were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings scraped during DIY
For a school such as Marsh School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
