Artex removal in Bepton
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Bepton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- The parking area
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

What else we do in Bepton
What we deal with in Bepton
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings coming down
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
In older homes in Bepton, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- The method and controls
Afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Avoid these

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your questions about Artex removal in Bepton
Do you cover Bepton from London?
We cover Bepton, about 48 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Bepton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my textured ceiling in Bepton asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Step by step
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, with no sanding or dry scraping. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
