Our artex removal in GU5
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and coatings in the way of electrical work, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

Where we remove Artex in GU5
From Bramley, Wonersh and Gomshall to small villages, homes across GU5 have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is. Parts of GU5 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.
Bramley: For a school such as St Catherine's School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start. If your home is one of the older properties in Bramley, near The Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Why people call us in GU5
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Send photos of the coatings
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
FAQs for GU5
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
