About our artex removal in Warlingham
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and loft conversions and extensions, involving textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In Warlingham, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Common questions in Warlingham
Do older homes in Warlingham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Upper Warlingham station?
Yes, we cover Warlingham and the area towards Upper Warlingham station, about 0.9 miles west.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.

Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Each different coating needs testing

- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Warlingham
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings coming down
If your home is one of the older properties in Warlingham, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
