Artex removal for Bentley Heath properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In flats and houses around Bentley Heath, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Textured walls before a refit
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings already disturbed
Older homes across Bentley Heath may have coatings added during past renovations.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Options to consider in Bentley Heath
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

What happens next
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bentley Heath, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What happens
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep the room closed while we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
