Artex removal in Westfield
Artex removal in Westfield
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and people usually contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and structural work through coated ceilings.
In towns and villages like Westfield, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Westfield
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Which option is right?

Questions from Westfield
Do you work near Woking station?
Yes. Woking station is about 1.2 miles north of Westfield, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
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?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
