Artex removal in Puttenham
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings before downlights go in and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Puttenham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What affects the price in Puttenham
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- A close-up from a safe distance

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we will recommend the right option.
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Puttenham
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
A school like Puttenham CofE Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Puttenham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common questions in Puttenham
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.
Do older homes in Puttenham have asbestos?
Any home in Puttenham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What happens next
Covered coatings should be recorded.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
How it works
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- 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
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
