Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Reports and results you can share
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Rented flats before redecoration
Non-domestic buildings like St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What isn’t included
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once we’re done:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
- Send photos of the coatings
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Your questions about Artex removal in Frensham
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Frensham and the area towards Farnham station, about 3.2 miles north.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
