About our artex removal in Netherne on-the-Hill
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s rented homes refurbished between tenants and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Netherne on-the-Hill, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Netherne on-the-Hill
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 textured ceilings in Netherne on-the-Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What affects the price in Netherne on-the-Hill
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
The scope of Artex removal
To be clear about the scope:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
