FAQs for Peper Harow
Is the Artex in my Peper Harow home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Peper Harow from London?
Peper Harow is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in Peper Harow?
Yes, Peper Harow is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Peper Harow
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
If you are refurbishing a rental near Godalming station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
