Artex removal for Farnham Common
Artex removal for Farnham Common properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings coming down.
Village homes like those in Farnham Common have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Farnham Common
How far is Farnham Common from London?
We cover Farnham Common, about 23 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Farnham Common have asbestos?
Any home in Farnham Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before plastering
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Non-domestic buildings like Farnham Common Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
