Bembridge: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Bembridge home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Bembridge and the area around Brading station?
Yes, we cover Bembridge and the area towards Brading station, about 2.4 miles west.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you cover Bembridge?
Yes, Bembridge is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
For businesses and landlords in Bembridge
If you run a business from older premises in Bembridge, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After we’ve finished in Bembridge
Covered coatings should be recorded.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
Avoid these
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- The access route
- A clear close-up
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
