How artex removal works in Broomershill
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Common materials are textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings damaged by leaks.
In places like Broomershill, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Keeping things safe:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Keep the results and paperwork
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Broomershill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Why people call us in Broomershill
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings coming down
- Landlord refurbishments
