FAQs for Epsom Downs
Do you cover small places like Epsom Downs?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Epsom Downs home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
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.
Do you cover Epsom Downs?
Yes, we do: Epsom Downs is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How artex removal works in Epsom Downs
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From walls before tiling and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings and more.
In a village like Epsom Downs, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After we have finished in Epsom Downs
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
- File the test result and waste note
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
