Artex removal in Sunningdale
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Sunningdale, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and structural work through coated ceilings, involving swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In Sunningdale, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What else we do in Sunningdale
Common questions in Sunningdale
Do you cover Sunningdale from London?
Sunningdale is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Sunningdale homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is my textured ceiling in Sunningdale asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
