How artex removal works in Cudworth
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In a village like Cudworth, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Send photos of the coatings
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

Your questions about Artex removal in Cudworth
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Cudworth contain asbestos?
If your home in Cudworth was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
