About our artex removal in Send
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before skimming.
In a smaller place like Send, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Send: your questions answered
Do you cover Send from London?
We cover Send, about 24 miles from central London.
Do you cover Send and the area around Clandon station?
Yes. Clandon station is about 2.2 miles south-east of Send, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you cover Send?
Yes. We cover Send and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
For businesses and landlords in Send
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan around the closed rooms
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Send
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Flaking textured ceilings
Older homes across Send may have coatings added during past renovations.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
