Your questions about Artex removal in Headley
Do you work near Tadworth station?
Yes. Tadworth station is about 1.9 miles east of Headley, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Headley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you cover Headley?
We do: Headley is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets away
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
