How artex removal works in Berghers Hill
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Berghers Hill. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and people usually contact us about loft conversions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Rural homes near Berghers Hill have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Berghers Hill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Berghers Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Berghers Hill home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.

Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? 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 usually better. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
