Artex removal near Britwell
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people typically contact us about textured walls before a refit and ceilings coming down.
Homes in towns and villages like Britwell may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

What else we do in Britwell
Britwell: your questions answered
Do you cover Britwell from London?
We cover Britwell, about 23 miles from central London.
Could my house in Britwell contain asbestos?
Any home in Britwell built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Britwell
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit

- Landlord refurbishments
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Burnham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
