Artex removal in Hindhead
Common questions in Hindhead
Do you cover Hindhead from London?
We cover Hindhead, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do you work in Hindhead?
Yes, Hindhead is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hindhead?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
About our artex removal in Hindhead
Planning a renovation in Hindhead with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and coatings scraped during DIY.
In a village like Hindhead, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Test before the builders arrive.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Typical jobs in Hindhead include:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Hindhead, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
