Our artex removal in KT20

KT20: textured coatings in homes
From Tadworth, Great Burgh and Kingswood to small villages, homes across KT20 have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across KT20, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.
Tadworth: Non-domestic buildings like Tadworth Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings. If your home is one of the older properties in Tadworth, near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
The scope of Artex removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
