Sandhurst questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Sandhurst homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sandhurst may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
About our artex removal in Sandhurst
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Sandhurst, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are damaged or cracked coatings and rented flats before redecoration.
Rural homes near Sandhurst have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Which option is right?
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear written quotes
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
- How we’d reach it
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we will advise.
