Artex removal near Bilsham
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include swirl patterns, textured walls and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are damaged or cracked coatings and landlord refurbishments.
In places like Bilsham, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Bilsham
Do you cover Bilsham and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 1.8 miles north-west of Bilsham, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Bilsham homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is my textured ceiling in Bilsham asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
