Artex removal for Wrecclesham properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Homes in places like Wrecclesham may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Duty holders and landlords in Wrecclesham
For managing agents and freeholders in Wrecclesham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wrecclesham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
What we deal with in Wrecclesham
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you are refurbishing flats near Farnham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Places near Wrecclesham
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
The process
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
