Artex removal for Broadfields Estate properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
Ceilings in Broadfields Estate conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Should you do it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Options to consider in Broadfields Estate
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

For a school such as Rosh Pinah Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

FAQs for Broadfields Estate
Is the Artex in my Broadfields Estate home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Broadfields Estate and the area around Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Broadfields Estate, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
