Artex removal near Faygate
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and coatings scraped during DIY.
In a village like Faygate, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What else we do in Faygate
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings coming down
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
If you are refurbishing a rental near Faygate station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Choosing the right option
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Covering London and the South East
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
What affects the price in Faygate
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

For businesses and landlords in Faygate
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your questions about Artex removal in Faygate
Do you cover small places like Faygate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Faygate station?
Yes, we cover Faygate, including the streets around Faygate station.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
