Artex removal in Three Bridges
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, which is why testing first matters in Three Bridges. We often deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about ceilings before skimming and landlord refurbishments.
Homes in places like Three Bridges may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
In older homes in Three Bridges, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Do you work near Three Bridges station?
Yes. Three Bridges station is close to the centre of Three Bridges, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
