Artex removal near Paynes Green
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In a village like Paynes Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Paynes Green, 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.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common questions in Paynes Green
Is the Artex in my Paynes Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work in Paynes Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Paynes Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets away
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before tiling
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Ockley station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
