Artex removal in Tuesley
Artex removal for Tuesley properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Tuesley, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about walls before tiling and ceilings before downlights go in.
Rural homes near Tuesley have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Tuesley questions
Do textured ceilings in Tuesley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Milford (Surrey) station?
Yes, we cover Tuesley and the area towards Milford (Surrey) station, about 0.6 miles south-west.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Older homes across Tuesley may have coatings added during past renovations.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included

- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
