How artex removal works in Farleigh Green
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Farleigh Green. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
Village homes like those in Farleigh Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What else we do in Farleigh Green
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Farleigh Green
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Walls before tiling
If your home is one of the older properties in Farleigh Green, near All Saints Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Farleigh Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Questions from Farleigh Green
Do you come out to small villages like Farleigh Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Farleigh Green from London?
We cover Farleigh Green, about 30 miles from central London.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
