Artex removal in Bridgemary
How artex removal works in Bridgemary
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. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and structural work through coated ceilings.
In Bridgemary, 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.

What affects the price in Bridgemary
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:

Bridgemary questions
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2.5 miles north-west of Bridgemary, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Bridgemary homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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 do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Across London and the South East

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
