Artex removal for Pachesham Park properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and ceilings before downlights go in.
Rural homes near Pachesham Park 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.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Pachesham Park, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Why people call us in Pachesham Park
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings coming down
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
If you are refurbishing a rental near Ashtead station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Common questions in Pachesham Park
Do older homes in Pachesham Park have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
