Artex removal near Warnborough Green
How artex removal works in Warnborough Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Warnborough Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings before plastering and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.
In a village like Warnborough Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What we deal with in Warnborough Green
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings before skimming
A school like Robert May's School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Warnborough Green questions
Do you cover Warnborough Green from London?
Warnborough Green is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Warnborough Green and the area around Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 0.9 miles north of Warnborough Green, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
