Artex removal in Haslemere
Artex removal in Haslemere
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings coming down.
In a smaller place like Haslemere, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Haslemere
Do you cover Haslemere from London?
We cover Haslemere, about 39 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Haslemere home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What we deal with in Haslemere
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Haslemere station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
