About artex removal in Wokingham
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Wokingham. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and extensions that cut into ceilings.
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down.

Where we remove Artex in Wokingham
In Wokingham, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike.
Reading: If you’re refurbishing a rental near Reading West station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. Non-domestic buildings like Coley Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

The scope of Artex removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Duty holders and landlords in Wokingham
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Questions from Wokingham
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in Wokingham?
Yes, Wokingham is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
