Artex removal for Wolverton properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Wolverton, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and ceilings before skimming, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near Wolverton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings damaged by DIY
If you are refurbishing a rental near Thatcham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Wolverton: your questions answered
Do you cover Wolverton and the area around Thatcham station?
Yes. Thatcham station is about 5 miles north of Wolverton, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Wolverton homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Quotes that spell out the scope
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
