Artex removal for Frimley properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From extensions that cut into ceilings and coatings already disturbed, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In Frimley, textured walls turn up as well as ceilings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Frimley, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Your questions about Artex removal in Frimley
Do you work near Frimley station?
Yes. Frimley station is about 0.7 miles west of Frimley, and we cover both.
Do you cover Frimley from London?
We cover Frimley, about 30 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
The process
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell us about parking and access
