Artex removal in Bowlhead Green
Artex removal near Bowlhead Green
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From walls before tiling and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In towns and villages like Bowlhead Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Bowlhead Green questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Bowlhead Green have asbestos?
Any home in Bowlhead Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- The access route

For businesses and landlords in Bowlhead Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
