How artex removal works in Remenham Hill
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and textured walls before a refit, including Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Remenham Hill have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that is needed.

FAQs for Remenham Hill
Do textured ceilings in Remenham Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Remenham Hill homes?
Any home in Remenham Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Remenham Hill asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Remenham Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The category of work
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
