Artex removal in Bouldnor
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Bouldnor. Typical materials include swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In areas like Bouldnor, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Bouldnor properties and textured coatings
Bouldnor is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Properties in Bouldnor range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos.

Common questions in Bouldnor
Do older homes in Bouldnor have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bouldnor can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Bouldnor homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
