Artex removal for The Village
Artex removal near The Village
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across The Village. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and flaking textured ceilings.
Rural homes near The Village have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in The Village

What we deal with in The Village
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before plastering
A school like Windsor Girls' School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Comparing quotes
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- VAT, clearly stated
- How fibres will be kept down

What happens next
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Keeping things safe:
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The survey scope
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Where we could park
- A picture of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The Village questions
Do you cover The Village and the area around Windsor & Eton Central station?
Yes. Windsor & Eton Central station is about 3 miles north-east of The Village, and we cover both.
Do older homes in The Village have asbestos?
Any home in The Village 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.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
The process
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and 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
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully

Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Reports and results you can share
