Artex removal for Braywoodside
About our artex removal in Braywoodside
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Braywoodside, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Braywoodside, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Braywoodside: your questions answered
Do you cover Braywoodside from London?
We cover Braywoodside, about 28 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Braywoodside home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We need the room cleared
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
