Artex removal for Brook properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and coatings already disturbed, we cover stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Brook have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

How we price Artex removal
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- The survey scope
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A photo of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
What happens next
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Once we’re done:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Brook
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
For a school such as King Edward's School Witley, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Brook questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 you come out to small villages like Brook?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
