About our artex removal in Bradville
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and coatings already disturbed, involving textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In Bradville, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Bradville
Do you cover Bradville and the area around Wolverton station?
Yes. Wolverton station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Bradville, and we cover both.
How far is Bradville from London?
Bradville is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Yes, we do: Bradville is within the area we cover in Milton Keynes. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

- Identify first, remove only when needed

Why people call us in Bradville
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
In older homes in Bradville, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The method and controls
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
