Artex removal near Winsor
If your renovation in Winsor involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and people normally contact us about walls before tiling and ceilings before downlights go in.
Village homes like those in Winsor have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Options to consider in Winsor
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Reports and results you can share
- Across London and the South East
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These come up again and again:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Winsor, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Before you book anyone
- If the price includes VAT
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
For businesses and landlords in Winsor
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Winsor, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

FAQs for Winsor
Do older homes in Winsor have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Winsor can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Winsor and the area around Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. Ashurst New Forest station is about 2.7 miles south-east of Winsor, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
