Artex removal for Boarshead
How artex removal works in Boarshead
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s rented flats before redecoration and coatings already disturbed, we deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Boarshead have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Boarshead
Is asbestos common in Boarshead homes?
Any home in Boarshead built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Boarshead and the area around Eridge station?
Yes, we cover Boarshead and the area towards Eridge station, about 1.4 miles north-east.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
