What happens next

- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Typical Artex jobs in Hurtmore
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Textured walls before a refit
Non-domestic buildings like Charterhouse School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What paperwork you get
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Hurtmore, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Options to consider in Hurtmore
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Your questions about Artex removal in Hurtmore
Do textured ceilings in Hurtmore homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Hurtmore and the area around Godalming station?
Yes. Godalming station is about 1.2 miles south-east of Hurtmore, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
