Fawley Bottom questions
Do you cover Fawley Bottom and the area around Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. Henley-On-Thames station is about 3 miles south of Fawley Bottom, and we cover both.
Do you cover Fawley Bottom from London?
We cover Fawley Bottom, about 36 miles from central London.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What affects the price in Fawley Bottom
What changes the cost:
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
