Textured ceilings in Pixham
Pixham is about 1 mile north-east of Dorking, in Surrey. Pixham has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in 395 places across Surrey. We work right across the region, from Pixham to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Pixham, near Pixham Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. For rented flats close to Dorking station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

About our artex removal in Pixham
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From landlord refurbishments and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Pixham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Why people call us in Pixham
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
Non-domestic buildings like The Ashcombe School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Before booking anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- VAT, clearly stated
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
