Asbestos help in Norwood Hill
Artex removal for Norwood Hill properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Norwood Hill have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your questions about Artex removal in Norwood Hill
Do you come out to small villages like Norwood Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Norwood Hill and the area around Horley station?
Yes, we cover Norwood Hill and the area towards Horley station, about 2.8 miles east.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is my textured ceiling in Norwood Hill asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
