Churt properties and textured coatings
Churt is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Homes, landlords and businesses in Churt contact us for Artex jobs. We work in 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Churt to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
If you are refurbishing flats near Haslemere station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Non-domestic buildings like St John's CofE Aided Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start. Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 3 miles of Churt, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.
Wherever your property is in GU10, we can help with Artex removal, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your property could be on Crossways, Moreton Close and Barford Lane. Other places close to Churt we cover include Barford (1 mile south), Green Cross (1 mile east), Crosswater (1 mile north), Whitmoor Vale (1 mile south) and Beacon Hill (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also work in Guildford (12 miles north-east), Woking (15 miles north-east), Camberley (14 miles north), Farnham (5 miles north), Frimley (12 miles north) and Haslemere (4 miles south-east).

- Local pubs include Crossways Inn (less than half a mile south)
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
Churt: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Churt home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
How much does Artex removal cost in Churt?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you cover Churt?
Yes, Churt is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How it works
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Why people call us in Churt
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in Churt, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

- The scope of the job, in writing
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get

What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Across London and the South East
- Clear advice on your options

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
