Artex removal for Fernhurst properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Fernhurst, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and rented flats before redecoration.
In a village like Fernhurst, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

They’re included in the test if they’re coated.

Typical Artex jobs in Fernhurst
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings coming down
A school like Fernhurst Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Fernhurst: your questions answered
Do older homes in Fernhurst have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes. Haslemere station is about 2.7 miles north of Fernhurst, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in Fernhurst?
We do: our area includes Fernhurst and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
