Options to consider in Botley
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Botley must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us room sizes
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Botley
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These come up again and again:
- Walls before tiling
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Non-domestic buildings like Botley Church of England Controlled Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Your questions about Artex removal in Botley
Is asbestos common in Botley 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 you cover Botley from London?
We cover Botley, about 65 miles from central London.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
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.
