How artex removal works in MK15
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in MK15. We often deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and people generally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Common questions in MK15
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in MK15?
We do: our area includes MK15 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
