Artex removal around Tatsfield
Tatsfield is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Greater London. Tatsfield has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Tatsfield to London (about 15 miles away).
For rented flats close to Oxted station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. A school like Charles Darwin School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 8 miles of Tatsfield, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Tatsfield
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
These are some of the things we deal with in Tatsfield:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings before downlights go in

If your home is one of the older properties in Tatsfield, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Common questions in Tatsfield
Can you work in Tatsfield with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do textured ceilings in Tatsfield homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
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.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
Your options compared
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Some practical advice:
- Each different coating needs testing

- Plan around the closed rooms

Avoid these

Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
