Where we remove Artex in Slough

Textured ceilings turn up in homes across Slough, from Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell to 21 villages and hamlets. We test first, wherever the property is.

Slough: For a school such as Herschel Grammar School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start. If your home is one of the older properties in Slough, near St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

A closer look at the materials

Coated plasterboard

The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.

Patched areas

Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.

The scope of Artex removal

We are upfront about what’s included:

Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs

Weighing up your options

A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods.

What your quote should include

VAT, clearly stated

Doing it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Why people call us in Slough

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Ceilings before downlights go in
Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
Coatings damaged by DIY
Loft conversions and extensions

FAQs for Slough

What does licensed work mean?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Can I stay at home while you work?

The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Can I just skim over it?

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
