We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Eversley Centre. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, including stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Eversley Centre have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Eversley Centre: your questions answered
How far is Eversley Centre from London?
We cover Eversley Centre, about 35 miles from central London.
Do you work near Crowthorne station?
Yes, we cover Eversley Centre and the area towards Crowthorne station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Test before the builders arrive.
Duty holders and landlords in Eversley Centre
If you run a business from older premises in Eversley Centre, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The process
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Move things out of the way carefully
