Artex removal near Tandridge
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. From walls before tiling and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Tandridge have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets away

What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Typical jobs in Tandridge include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before skimming
- Damaged or cracked coatings
For a school such as St Peter's CofE Infant School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Questions to ask before you book
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the job needs notifying
- The documents you’ll receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Tandridge must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Do you come out to small villages like Tandridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
