For managing agents and freeholders in Beggar's Bush, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Artex removal for Beggar's Bush properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings damaged by DIY, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Rural homes near Beggar's Bush have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

How we price Artex removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A picture of the whole area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- Visible markings
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
For rented flats close to Sunningdale station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Beggar's Bush
Do you cover small places like Beggar's Bush?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Beggar's Bush home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do you work in Beggar's Bush?
Yes. We cover Beggar's Bush and the surrounding area as part of Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
