Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

About our artex removal in Pyrford
If your renovation in Pyrford involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include textured walls before a refit and ceilings coming down, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Homes in towns and villages like Pyrford may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Pyrford, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Pyrford properties and textured coatings
Pyrford is about 3 miles east of Woking, in Surrey. Properties in Pyrford range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in 395 places in Surrey. We work right across the region, from Pyrford to Guildford (about 6 miles away).
Non-domestic buildings like Pyrford Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start. For rented flats close to West Byfleet station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 8 miles of Pyrford, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your questions about Artex removal in Pyrford
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is the Artex in my Pyrford home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Do you cover Pyrford?
We do: our area includes Pyrford and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
