Artex removal in Boorley Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Boorley Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings before skimming and flaking textured ceilings, we cover coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings and more.
In areas like Boorley Green, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Why people call us in Boorley Green
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
In older homes in Boorley Green, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Your questions about Artex removal in Boorley Green
Could my house in Boorley Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Boorley Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Boorley Green from London?
We cover Boorley Green, about 65 miles from central London.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
