How artex removal works in Cobham
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Cobham. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration, including Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
In a smaller place like Cobham, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Cobham
Do older homes in Cobham have asbestos?
Any home in Cobham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
How much does Artex removal cost in Cobham?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets away
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
