About artex removal in KT19
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and people generally contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet

Where we remove Artex in KT19
In KT19, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike.
Epsom: For a school such as Laine Theatre Arts, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start. If you are refurbishing flats near Epsom station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in KT19

People usually contact us about one of these:
- Coatings damaged by DIY

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building.
Questions to ask before you book

- The scope of the job, in writing
- What category of work it is
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
For businesses and landlords in KT19
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Your questions about Artex removal in KT19
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How much does Artex removal cost in KT19?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
