Artex removal near Redhill
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. We often deal with Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
In towns like Redhill, plenty of homes from the 1960s to 1990s have textured ceilings, though older homes may have them too. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Do you cover Redhill and the area around Redhill station?

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you give written quotes?

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one

- File the test result and waste note
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
