Artex removal for Pinewood Village properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and loft conversions, involving stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In Pinewood Village, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
The process
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Questions from Pinewood Village
How far is Pinewood Village from London?
We cover Pinewood Village, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you cover Pinewood Village and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Pinewood Village and the area towards Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 4.1 miles north.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.

- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
