Artex removal in Boundstone
Artex removal in Boundstone
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Common materials are Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about ceilings before plastering and loft conversions.
In a smaller place like Boundstone, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
A few practical points:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Questions from Boundstone
Is asbestos common in Boundstone homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Boundstone can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes. Farnham station is about 1.7 miles north-east of Boundstone, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
