How artex removal works in Hookwood
Planning a renovation in Hookwood with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Whether it’s walls before tiling and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Hookwood have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Hookwood
Do you cover Hookwood and the area around Horley station?
Yes. Horley station is about 1.2 miles east of Hookwood, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Hookwood were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
