Artex removal for Sandhurst properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Sandhurst. People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In Sandhurst, textured walls turn up as well as ceilings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What we deal with in Sandhurst
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings scraped during DIY
For a school such as Sandhurst School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Sandhurst questions
Do older homes in Sandhurst have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sandhurst may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Sandhurst station?
Yes, we cover Sandhurst and the area towards Sandhurst station, about 0.8 miles west.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
