Artex removal for Bedham properties
Planning a renovation in Bedham with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and flaking textured ceilings, including stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Bedham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bedham questions
How far is Bedham from London?
We cover Bedham, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bedham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How we work
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
