Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.

Is my textured ceiling in Amen Corner asbestos?

Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After we’ve finished in Amen Corner
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
