About our artex removal in Surbiton Park
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Surbiton Park. People often contact us about rented flats before redecoration and walls before tiling, involving stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Ceilings in Surbiton Park conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Surbiton Park
Do older homes in Surbiton Park have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Surbiton station?
Yes. Surbiton station is about 0.5 miles south of Surbiton Park, and we cover both.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How much does Artex removal cost in Surbiton Park?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- How much waste there is
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
