How artex removal works in Bolney
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Bolney. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and loft conversions and extensions, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Bolney have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bolney must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What affects the price in Bolney
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Disposal costs
- The survey scope
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area

Common questions in Bolney
How far is Bolney from London?
Bolney is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Bolney?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What happens next
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
A few practical points:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Photos help us quote
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
