Artex removal in Bisley
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Bisley. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and walls before tiling, including coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In towns and villages like Bisley, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Bisley
Could my house in Bisley contain asbestos?
Any home in Bisley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Bisley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Why people call us in Bisley
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings damaged by leaks
In older homes in Bisley, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

- Whether the job needs notifying

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
