- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings already disturbed

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Going forward:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Each different coating needs testing

FAQs for Ifield
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Ifield and the area around Ifield station?
Yes, we cover Ifield and the area towards Ifield station, about 0.6 miles south-west.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
