Textured ceilings in Shamley Green
Shamley Green is about 5 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Properties in Shamley Green range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Shamley Green is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
A school like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. If you’re refurbishing a rental near Chilworth station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 4 miles of Shamley Green; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Typical Artex jobs in Shamley Green
Many trades want a test result first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If your home is one of the older properties in Shamley Green, near Christ Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Your questions about Artex removal in Shamley Green
How far is Shamley Green from London?
Shamley Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Chilworth station?
Yes. Chilworth station is about 2.1 miles north of Shamley Green, and we cover both.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Is my textured ceiling in Shamley Green asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
