Artex removal near Frogham
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and ceilings coming down, including stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In a village like Frogham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Frogham
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Snowdown station?
Yes. Snowdown station is about 0.8 miles north-west of Frogham, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
The process
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.

- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and 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

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Frogham
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings scraped during DIY
A school like Nonington Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
