Artex removal in Camberley
For businesses and landlords in Camberley
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Camberley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
About our artex removal in Camberley
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. From flaking textured ceilings and ceilings coming down, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls and more.
Renovations in towns and villages like Camberley often uncover textured coatings on walls as well as ceilings, and both can be tested. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Camberley
Do you work near Camberley station?
Yes, we cover Camberley and the area towards Camberley station, about 0.7 miles west.
Is the Artex in my Camberley home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
Don’ts
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What we deal with in Camberley
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If you are refurbishing a rental near Camberley station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Options to consider in Camberley
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
