About our artex removal in Broomfield
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings coming down and ceilings before downlights go in, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.
Rural homes near Broomfield have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

These are some of the things we deal with in Broomfield:

- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Non-domestic buildings like Herne Church of England Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings.

What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about Artex removal in Broomfield
Is the Artex in my Broomfield home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Broomfield from London?
We cover Broomfield, about 55 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Broomfield?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
