Artex removal in Wintershill
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings before plastering, including textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
In a village like Wintershill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

For businesses and landlords in Wintershill
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Your questions about Artex removal in Wintershill
How far is Wintershill from London?
Wintershill is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Wintershill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
Ask for a quote
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Helpful guides
What we deal with in Wintershill
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.

- Loft conversions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Non-domestic buildings like Wyvern Technology College should already have records of any textured coatings.

What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Once we are done:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
