Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork

- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Artex removal near Boldre
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 Boldre. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by DIY and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
Village homes like those in Boldre have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Boldre
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
