How artex removal works in Russ Hill
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Russ Hill, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s extensions that cut into ceilings and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Russ Hill have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

FAQs for Russ Hill
Do textured ceilings in Russ Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
