How artex removal works in Goring
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and coatings scraped during DIY, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In Goring, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Goring questions
How far is Goring from London?
Goring is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Goring and the area around Goring & Streatley station?
Yes. Goring & Streatley station is close to the centre of Goring, and we cover the whole area.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you cover Goring?
We do: Goring is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Duty holders and landlords in Goring
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets away
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
