How artex removal works in Bolter End
If your renovation in Bolter End involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. From ceilings coming down and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Bolter End have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

FAQs for Bolter End
Do textured ceilings in Bolter End homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Bolter End homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
