Artex removal in Woodside
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Woodside. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In places like Woodside, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What we deal with in Woodside
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in Woodside:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
Older homes across Woodside may have coatings added during past renovations.

Common questions in Woodside
Do you work near Ascot station?
Yes. Ascot station is about 1.8 miles south of Woodside, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Woodside?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Woodside, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Options to consider in Woodside
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
