Artex removal in Bulverhythe
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. We often deal with textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings before downlights go in.
In a village like Bulverhythe, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Bulverhythe questions
Do you cover Bulverhythe from London?
We cover Bulverhythe, about 52 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Bulverhythe home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Options to consider in Bulverhythe
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
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 advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
