Artex removal in Stoke D'Abernon
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Stoke D'Abernon
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.

- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Walls before tiling
- Rented flats before redecoration
Non-domestic buildings like Parkside School should already have records of any textured coatings.

- Suitable insurance for the work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The method and controls
How artex removal works in Stoke D'Abernon
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, 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. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and coatings in the way of electrical work, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Stoke D'Abernon have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stoke D'Abernon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Stoke D'Abernon, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
FAQs for Stoke D'Abernon
Do you cover Stoke D'Abernon from London?
We cover Stoke D'Abernon, about 18 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is my textured ceiling in Stoke D'Abernon asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
