Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Fringford
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
In older homes in Fringford, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Do you cover Fringford and the area around Bicester North station?
Yes. Bicester North station is about 3.8 miles south of Fringford, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?

Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.

When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.

What else we do in Fringford
Duty holders and landlords in Fringford
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
