Artex removal in Norney
For businesses and landlords in Norney
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.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How artex removal works in Norney
If your renovation in Norney involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. People often contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and flaking textured ceilings, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Norney have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Norney
Is the Artex in my Norney home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Norney contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is my textured ceiling in Norney asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Your options compared
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings already disturbed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If you are refurbishing flats near Godalming station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Before booking anyone
- If the price includes VAT
- How fibres will be kept down
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What category of work it is
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, with no sanding or dry scraping. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.

- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested

Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
