Asbestos help in Iping
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Artex removal in Iping
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Rural homes near Iping have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about Artex removal in Iping
Do you cover Iping and the area around Liphook station?
Yes. Liphook station is about 5 miles north of Iping, and we cover both.
Do you cover Iping from London?
We cover Iping, about 46 miles from central London.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
After we have finished:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What happens
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Tell us about parking and access

Helpful guides
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Iping
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Landlord refurbishments
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
If you are refurbishing a rental near Liphook station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

What affects the price in Iping
Quotes vary because of:
