Artex removal near Coombe Hill
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include ceilings before skimming and coatings already disturbed, involving coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In flats and houses around Coombe Hill, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Coombe Hill: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Coombe Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Coombe Hill and the area around Norbiton station?
Yes, we cover Coombe Hill and the area towards Norbiton station, about 1.6 miles south-west.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
