What we deal with in Broadfield
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
Non-domestic buildings like Seymour Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Artex removal near Broadfield
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Homes in areas like Broadfield may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Broadfield questions
Is the Artex in my Broadfield home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Broadfield and the area around Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Broadfield, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is my textured ceiling in Broadfield asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
After we’ve finished in Broadfield
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Some practical advice:
- Give us room sizes
- Test every different coating
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
