If your renovation in Thursley involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. From loft conversions and extensions and rented flats before redecoration, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.
Rural homes near Thursley have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
How we work
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- 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
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Make sure we can get to the area

Your questions about Artex removal in Thursley
Is the Artex in my Thursley home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Thursley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How can I get a price?
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- How much there is

Typical Artex jobs in Thursley
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings scraped during DIY
In older homes in Thursley, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Before you book anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Looking after things afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Going forward:
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
