Artex removal for Wraysbury properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and walls before tiling.
In Wraysbury, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

What affects the price in Wraysbury
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

A closer look at the materials
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Wraysbury
Do you cover Wraysbury from London?
Wraysbury is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Sunnymeads station?
Yes, we cover Wraysbury and the area towards Sunnymeads station, about 0.8 miles north.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What we deal with in Wraysbury
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings coming down
In older homes in Wraysbury, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Suitable insurance for the work
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note
- Send photos of the coatings
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
