Artex removal for St George's Hill
Artex removal in St George's Hill
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in St George's Hill. From extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In places like St George's Hill, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Quotes vary because of:

- Travel and parking
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Why people call us in St George's Hill
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in St George's Hill:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings coming down
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings already disturbed
If your home is one of the older properties in St George's Hill, near United Reform Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- What category of work it is
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in St George's Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

What else we do in St George's Hill
Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Questions from St George's Hill
Do you cover St George's Hill from London?
St George's Hill is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Weybridge station?
Yes. Weybridge station is about 0.5 miles west of St George's Hill, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you cover St George's Hill?
Yes, we do: St George's Hill is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
