Artex removal in Lower Eashing
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and coatings scraped during DIY, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Lower Eashing have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Lower Eashing questions
How far is Lower Eashing from London?
Lower Eashing is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Godalming station?
Yes, we cover Lower Eashing and the area towards Godalming station, about 1.3 miles east.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Weighing up your options
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

- Coatings already disturbed
- Textured walls before a refit
