How artex removal works in Friday Street
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and structural work through coated ceilings, involving coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In areas like Friday Street, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about Artex removal in Friday Street
Could my house in Friday Street contain asbestos?
Any home in Friday Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Friday Street and the area around Gomshall station?
Yes. Gomshall station is about 2.9 miles north-west of Friday Street, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Friday Street is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work. We work right across the region, from Friday Street to Guildford (9 miles away).

- Rented homes refurbished between tenants

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Friday Street, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
