Common questions in Egypt
Do you come out to small villages like Egypt?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Egypt homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
About our artex removal in Egypt
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Egypt. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and loft conversions and extensions, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Egypt have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Some practical advice:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Give us room sizes

- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

Textured ceilings in Egypt
Egypt is about 3 miles north of Slough, in Slough. We work across Egypt and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Egypt is one of 31 towns and villages in Slough where we work. We work right across the region, from Egypt to Reading (17 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Egypt, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. A school like Farnham Common Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
We cover Artex jobs across the SL2 postcode area. That could mean a property on Cages Wood Drive, Hammond End and The Avenue or the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Farnham Common (1 mile south-east), Hedgerley (1 mile north-east), East Burnham (1 mile south), Farnham Royal (1 mile south) and Littleworth Corner (2 miles west). Further out, we also cover Slough (3 miles south), Cippenham (3 miles south), Chalvey (4 miles south), Langley (5 miles south-east), Upton (4 miles south) and Burnham (3 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Wexham Park Hospital (2.7 miles south-east). The countryside around Egypt includes Burnham Beeches and Taplow Lake.
- Local schools include Caldicott School (0.8 miles south) and Beechwood School (1.9 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Royal Oak pub (under half a mile south-east)
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Egypt, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
