How artex removal works in Bordon
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and walls before tiling.
In areas like Bordon, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Bordon: your questions answered
Do you cover Bordon from London?
Bordon is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Bordon and the area towards Liphook station, about 4.1 miles south-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bordon
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Flaking textured ceilings
A school like Bordon Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Helpful guides
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
Avoid these
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
For businesses and landlords in Bordon
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Bordon were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
