FAQs for Frithend
Is the Artex in my Frithend home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Frithend from London?
We cover Frithend, about 40 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How much does Artex removal cost in Frithend?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Looking after things afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once we are done:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
