Artex removal in Deepcut
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are loft conversions and coatings already disturbed.
In Deepcut, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Duty holders and landlords in Deepcut
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste paperwork for every removal

FAQs for Deepcut
Do you work near Farnborough North station?
Yes, we cover Deepcut and the area towards Farnborough North station, about 1.9 miles west.
Could my house in Deepcut contain asbestos?
Any home in Deepcut built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
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.
Do you work in Deepcut?
Yes, we do: our area includes Deepcut and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
After we’ve finished in Deepcut
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
A few practical points:
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What we deal with in Deepcut
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented flats before redecoration
For a school such as Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- The documents you’ll receive
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
How we price Artex removal
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
