Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and coatings already disturbed, involving coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls.

Upper Froyle questions
How far is Upper Froyle from London?
We cover Upper Froyle, about 42 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Upper Froyle homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How we price Artex removal
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
Send us the address in Upper Froyle, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
