Artex removal in Eton
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Eton have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Duty holders and landlords in Eton
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your questions about Artex removal in Eton
Do you cover Eton from London?
Eton is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Eton contain asbestos?
If your home in Eton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in Eton?
Yes. We cover Eton and the surrounding area as part of Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How it works
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Clear the way to the work area
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Helpful guides
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Eton

People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Structural work through coated ceilings
For a school such as Eton Porny CofE First School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
