Artex removal in Borden
Planning a renovation in Borden with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical materials include textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about flaking textured ceilings and structural work through coated ceilings.
Rural homes near Borden have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
After we’ve finished in Borden
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Give us room sizes
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Borden, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Records for your files

Borden questions
Is asbestos common in Borden homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Borden homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
