Artex removal in GU14: what to expect
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and people generally contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

GU14: textured coatings in homes
From Farnborough, Ash Vale and North Camp to small villages, homes across GU14 have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is.
Farnborough: Older homes across Farnborough may have coatings added during past renovations. For a school such as Tower Hill Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
After the job
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
FAQs for GU14
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
