About our artex removal in Bosham
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In a village like Bosham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We need the room cleared

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns

Common questions in Bosham
Do you come out to small villages like Bosham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Bosham from London?
Bosham is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Options to consider in Bosham
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Bosham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bosham
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
In older properties, we often see:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Landlord refurbishments
A school like Bosham Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
