About our artex removal in Burntcommon
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From landlord refurbishments and walls before tiling, we cover Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns and more.
Rural homes near Burntcommon have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Burntcommon
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Burntcommon contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Burntcommon may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After we have finished:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note

Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in Burntcommon
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before skimming
A school like Send CofE Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
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.
