Artex removal for East Clandon
Artex removal for East Clandon properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near East Clandon have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about Artex removal in East Clandon
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.
Do you come out to small villages like East Clandon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
After we’ve finished in East Clandon
Covered coatings should be recorded.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Test before the builders arrive.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
