Artex removal near North Warnborough
Artex removal in North Warnborough
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and ceilings coming down.
Rural homes near North Warnborough have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Some practical advice:

Avoid these
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

For landlords, agents and businesses

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How much waste there is

- Travel and parking
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Your questions about Artex removal in North Warnborough
Do textured ceilings in North Warnborough homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 1.5 miles north of North Warnborough, and we cover both.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
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.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
