How artex removal works in Windlesham
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From coatings already disturbed and textured walls before a refit, we deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Homes in places like Windlesham may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

Your questions about Artex removal in Windlesham
Do you cover Windlesham and the area around Bagshot station?
Yes. Bagshot station is about 1.4 miles west of Windlesham, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Windlesham have asbestos?
Any home in Windlesham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
For businesses and landlords in Windlesham
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
