Artex removal near Bogle

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bogle

Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.

Typical jobs in Bogle include:

  • Ceilings coming down
  • Coatings in the way of electrical work
  • Coatings damaged by leaks
  • Ceilings before plastering

If you are refurbishing flats near Teynham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Before you book anyone

  • The method and controls
  • What category of work it is
  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

How artex removal works in Bogle

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people typically contact us about textured walls before a refit and damaged or cracked coatings.

Rural homes near Bogle have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Artex in Bogle homes

Bogle is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Bogle is within our Kent area, whatever the size of the job. Bogle is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.

Older homes across Bogle may have coatings added during past renovations. A school like Lynsted and Norton Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested. Bogle is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.

Choosing the right option

Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Why us?

  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Records for your files
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces
  • Written quotes that say what’s included

See our prices page and the cost guide.

Materials we deal with

Ceiling roses and cornices

We sample them if needed.

Patched areas

We may sample patches separately.

Prices and what affects them

The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the material is and its state
  • The size of the job
  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Helping us quote

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • Cracks or breaks
  • A rough size or measurement
  • Visible markings
  • The access route

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Bogle

Could my house in Bogle contain asbestos?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you come out to small villages like Bogle?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

What paperwork will I get?

That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

How do I get a quote?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Does all Artex contain asbestos?

Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.

Responsibilities for owners

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

If your business premises in Bogle were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

The process

We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
  2. We sample the coating first
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
  4. We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
  5. We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

Getting ready

  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Have any previous surveys or test results ready
  • Mention any damage before we arrive
