How artex removal works in Bromley Green
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and landlord refurbishments, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Bromley Green have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Bromley Green
Do you cover small places like Bromley Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Bromley Green and the area around Ham Street station?
Yes. Ham Street station is about 1.9 miles south of Bromley Green, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.

What happens next
File the result and the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Bromley Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Why people call us in Bromley Green
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
Non-domestic buildings like John Wallis Academy should already have records of any textured coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What we do and don’t cover
Before booking, note that:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Options to consider in Bromley Green
Test, leave, cover or remove? 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 normally best. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
