About our artex removal in Boyn Hill
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings before downlights go in, involving textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In Boyn Hill, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

All about artex removal
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

Common questions in Boyn Hill
Is the Artex in my Boyn Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Boyn Hill from London?
We cover Boyn Hill, about 28 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
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.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Typical Artex jobs in Boyn Hill
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For rented flats close to Maidenhead station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
