Artex removal for Bradenham
Artex removal in Bradenham
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings already disturbed, including coated ceiling roses, textured walls and stipple finishes.
In a village like Bradenham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

After we’ve finished in Bradenham
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
A few practical points:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What we deal with in Bradenham
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
If you’re refurbishing flats near Saunderton station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Bradenham: your questions answered
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Bradenham and the area towards Saunderton station, about 1.1 miles north-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Bradenham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
