Artex removal for Ansteadbrook properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Common materials are textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and coatings scraped during DIY.
Rural homes near Ansteadbrook have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
- Photos help us quote

Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Common questions in Ansteadbrook
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes. Haslemere station is about 2.2 miles west of Ansteadbrook, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
