Artex removal in Mogador
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Village homes like those in Mogador have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Mogador questions
Do you work near Reigate station?
Yes. Reigate station is about 1.6 miles south-east of Mogador, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you cover Mogador?
Yes. We cover Mogador and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Step by step
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Dig out previous surveys
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

DIY and asbestos
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.

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Mogador, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mogador, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
