Artex removal in Aldershot
The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard

Questions from Aldershot
Could my house in Aldershot contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Aldershot from London?
Aldershot is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
