Which option is right?
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

What else we do in Cippenham
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings scraped during DIY
If your home is one of the older properties in Cippenham, near St. Andrew's Shared Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- The scope of the job, in writing
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Cippenham questions
Do you cover Cippenham from London?
We cover Cippenham, about 23 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Cippenham home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you work in Cippenham?
Yes. We cover Cippenham and the surrounding area as part of Slough. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Cippenham, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The access route
- Visible markings
- A clear close-up
- Damaged areas
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will advise.
Step by step
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
