Asbestos help in Headley
Artex removal in Headley
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 jobs include loft conversions and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In places like Headley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What we deal with in Headley
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings damaged by leaks
A school like The Holme Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- The documents you’ll receive
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What category of work it is
- Which areas and materials are covered
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

Headley questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Headley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Headley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
