Artex removal in Bentley
Common questions in Bentley
Is the Artex in my Bentley home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Bentley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How artex removal works in Bentley
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From ceilings before plastering and textured walls before a refit, we cover stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.
In places like Bentley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? 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 normally better. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

For businesses and landlords in Bentley
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you manage or own a block in Bentley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
