Asbestos help in Tilford
Artex removal near Tilford
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From ceilings coming down and textured walls before a refit, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and textured walls and more.
In a village like Tilford, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Tilford questions
Could my house in Tilford contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Tilford and the area towards Farnham station, about 2.5 miles north-west.
Do you cover Tilford?
Yes, we do: Tilford is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The category of work
- How many samples are needed
- What the material is and its state
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Each job is priced individually. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
Looking after things afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How it works
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

For businesses and landlords in Tilford
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Good to know
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options
- Reports and results you can share
