Asbestos help in Wexham Court
Artex removal near Wexham Court
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From walls before tiling and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
Rural homes near Wexham Court have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Wexham Court
Do you cover Wexham Court and the area around Slough station?
Yes, we cover Wexham Court and the area towards Slough station, about 1.4 miles south-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Wexham Court?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wexham Court
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Landlord refurbishments
Older homes across Wexham Court may have coatings added during past renovations.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What category of work it is
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Each different coating needs testing
- Send photos of the coatings
- Empty the rooms in advance
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
