About our artex removal in Broomer's Corner
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and ceilings before downlights go in, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Broomer's Corner have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

- Empty the rooms in advance
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Broomer's Corner questions
Do you work near Billingshurst station?
Yes, we cover Broomer's Corner and the area towards Billingshurst station, about 3.4 miles north-west.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. It helps if we can park nearby.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Broomer's Corner, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
