Asbestos help in Byfleet
About our artex removal in Byfleet
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. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration.
In areas like Byfleet, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For businesses and landlords in Byfleet
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Byfleet must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Options to consider in Byfleet
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

What else we do in Byfleet
Byfleet questions
Do older homes in Byfleet have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Byfleet may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Byfleet homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Byfleet
