Artex removal in Egham Wick
Artex removal for Egham Wick properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people generally contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Egham Wick have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Typical Artex jobs in Egham Wick
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
- Textured walls before a refit
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Virginia Water station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your questions about Artex removal in Egham Wick
Do you come out to small villages like Egham Wick?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Virginia Water station?
Yes. Virginia Water station is about 1.8 miles south-east of Egham Wick, and we cover both.
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
