Do you cover small places like Bodle Street Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

About our artex removal in Bodle Street Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and flaking textured ceilings, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In areas like Bodle Street Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
- Keep the results and paperwork
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

Duty holders and landlords in Bodle Street Green

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
