Artex removal in Crockham Heath
How artex removal works in Crockham Heath
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Crockham Heath. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings damaged by DIY, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Crockham Heath have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Crockham Heath questions
Do you come out to small villages like Crockham Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Crockham Heath contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you cover Crockham Heath?
Yes, we do: Crockham Heath is within the area we cover in West Berkshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
DIY and asbestos
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
How we price Artex removal
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A photo of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Crockham Heath
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings coming down
For a school such as Enborne C.E. Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
