Artex removal for White Waltham properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From flaking textured ceilings and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
Rural homes near White Waltham have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it costs
What drives the price:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
- Parking and access charges
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- The parking area
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Loft conversions
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings coming down
If you are refurbishing a rental near Maidenhead station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get
- Any exclusions
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- The scope of the job, in writing
How it works
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let us know if something’s broken
Ask for a quote
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Questions from White Waltham
Is the Artex in my White Waltham home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover White Waltham and the area around Maidenhead station?
Yes, we cover White Waltham and the area towards Maidenhead station, about 2.9 miles north-east.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
