Artex removal near Bunce Common
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Bunce Common. From walls before tiling and landlord refurbishments, we cover swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Bunce Common have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Bunce Common
Is the Artex in my Bunce Common home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Bunce Common from London?
We cover Bunce Common, about 22 miles from central London.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What we deal with in Bunce Common
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings coming down
If you are refurbishing a rental near Betchworth station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The method and controls
- What paperwork you get
- Which laboratory analyses samples
For businesses and landlords in Bunce Common
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in Bunce Common, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After the job
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Test every different coating
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
