Artex removal for Englefield Green properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
In Englefield Green, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we deal with in Englefield Green

- Ceilings coming down

If you are refurbishing a rental near Egham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Common questions in Englefield Green
Do you cover Englefield Green from London?
Englefield Green is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Englefield Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Englefield Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
