Artex removal for Broad Green
About our artex removal in Broad Green
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and ceilings before plastering.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Broad Green, often painted over many times. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we deal with in Broad Green
Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions
Non-domestic buildings like Elmwood Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Duty holders and landlords in Broad Green

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Options to consider in Broad Green
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Going forward:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Broad Green questions
Do you work near West Croydon station?
Yes, we cover Broad Green and the area towards West Croydon station, about 0.6 miles south.
Could my house in Broad Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Broad Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
