Artex removal in Limpsfield
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Artex removal near Limpsfield
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Limpsfield. From coatings already disturbed and walls before tiling, we cover stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings and more.
Village homes like those in Limpsfield have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Limpsfield
Do you cover Limpsfield and the area around Oxted station?
Yes. Oxted station is about 0.6 miles west of Limpsfield, and we cover both.
Is the Artex in my Limpsfield home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
