Broad Street questions
Do you cover small places like Broad Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Broad Street homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

After we’ve finished in Broad Street
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
What we deal with in Broad Street
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Loft conversions
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Doleham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Comparing quotes

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
