Artex removal in Wymering
About our artex removal in Wymering
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 Wymering. Whether it’s walls before tiling and ceilings before plastering, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings and more.
In Wymering, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Choosing the right option
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

- Covering London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
- No removal until we know what it is
Read how we quote or the cost guide.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What happens next
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Once we are done:
- Photos help us quote
- Test every different coating
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Clear the rooms before the work
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Wymering questions
How far is Wymering from London?
We cover Wymering, about 62 miles from central London.
Do you work near Cosham station?
Yes. Cosham station is close to the centre of Wymering, and we cover the whole area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is my textured ceiling in Wymering asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Step by step
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
