Common reasons for Artex jobs in Whitmoor Vale
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
For rented flats close to Haslemere station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

About our artex removal in Whitmoor Vale
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and textured walls before a refit, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Whitmoor Vale have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Whitmoor Vale questions
Do you cover Whitmoor Vale from London?
Whitmoor Vale is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Whitmoor Vale homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Whitmoor Vale must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Whitmoor Vale, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
