Artex removal in Crookham Village
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Crookham Village, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Common materials are textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Village homes like those in Crookham Village have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Crookham Village questions
Do you cover Crookham Village and the area around Fleet station?
Yes, we cover Crookham Village and the area towards Fleet station, about 1.9 miles north-east.
How far is Crookham Village from London?
Crookham Village is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
