Artex removal near Broomhill
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented flats before redecoration, we cover swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Broomhill have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

Questions from Broomhill
Do textured ceilings in Broomhill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Broomhill contain asbestos?
Any home in Broomhill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
