Artex removal near Dunsfold
Artex removal near Dunsfold
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Whether it’s flaking textured ceilings and walls before tiling, we cover swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
In a village like Dunsfold, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Why people call us in Dunsfold
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Dunsfold, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

FAQs for Dunsfold
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Witley station?
Yes, we cover Dunsfold and the area towards Witley station, about 3.8 miles west.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
For businesses and landlords in Dunsfold
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dunsfold, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Options to consider in Dunsfold
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
