How artex removal works in Broadbridge
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Broadbridge. From coatings already disturbed and damaged or cracked coatings, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
In a village like Broadbridge, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Responsibilities for owners

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Your questions about Artex removal in Broadbridge
Do older homes in Broadbridge have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Broadbridge can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Broadbridge home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
