How artex removal works in Ewshot
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Ewshot. Common materials are Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
Rural homes near Ewshot have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Common questions in Ewshot
Is the Artex in my Ewshot home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Ewshot and the area around Farnham station?
Yes. Farnham station is about 2.6 miles south-east of Ewshot, and we cover both.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Is my textured ceiling in Ewshot asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets away
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Can I do it myself?
