Artex removal for Cox Green
Artex removal for Cox Green properties
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From coatings damaged by DIY and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard and more.
In a smaller place like Cox Green, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Cox Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Cox Green and the area around Maidenhead station?
Yes. Maidenhead station is about 1.1 miles north-east of Cox Green, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Cox Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Cox Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your options compared
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask about the method and the waste. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us

- Legal disposal, with paperwork

What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
