Artex removal for Mytchett properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and loft conversions, involving Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Homes in places like Mytchett may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Mytchett
Is the Artex in my Mytchett home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Farnborough North station?
Yes. Farnborough North station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Mytchett, and we cover both.
How much does Artex removal cost in Mytchett?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
