Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

For businesses and landlords in Horne

Your questions about Artex removal in Horne
Is the Artex in my Horne home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Horne and the area around Godstone station?
Yes. Godstone station is about 2.6 miles north-east of Horne, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
