Artex removal in Yateley
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s coatings scraped during DIY and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In a town like Yateley, textured ceilings turn up in houses from the 1960s to the 1990s, though older homes may have them too. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Yateley
Do you cover Yateley from London?
Yateley is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Yateley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Yateley may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Yateley
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Yateley School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Yateley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
