Artex is a popular decorative textured coating often found on ceilings and sometimes walls in properties built or refurbished between the 1950s and the year 2000. During that time, many Artex products contained white asbestos (chrysotile) fibres to enhance durability and texture. While undisturbed Artex doesn't typically pose an immediate risk, disturbing it through drilling, sanding, scraping, or demolition can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. This is why it's so important to have it professionally assessed before any work begins, especially if you're planning renovations, redecorating, or simply want a smooth, modern finish for your rooms.

If you have textured ceilings or walls in your Leatherhead home or business and suspect they might contain asbestos, the most important thing is not to disturb them. Contact us, and our expert team can carefully take a small sample. We then send this sample to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This provides you with a definitive answer and a certificate confirming whether asbestos is present. We also offer various asbestos surveys for your property:

  • Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check before buying a property, uncovering potential hidden asbestos issues and costs.
  • Asbestos Management Surveys: Required for non-domestic properties to identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials.
  • Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: A legally required intrusive survey before any significant building work begins.
