How artex removal works in Frimley Green
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and coatings damaged by DIY, involving textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Homes in areas like Frimley Green may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Typical Artex jobs in Frimley Green
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
Non-domestic buildings like Cross Farm Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings.

FAQs for Frimley Green
Do you cover Frimley Green from London?
Frimley Green is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Frimley Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Frimley Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
