Artex removal for Curridge properties

Rural homes near Curridge have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Curridge questions
How far is Curridge from London?
We cover Curridge, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you cover Curridge and the area around Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes, we cover Curridge and the area towards Newbury Racecourse station, about 3.2 miles south.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Curridge?
We do: Curridge is within the area we cover in West Berkshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
The process
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
