Artex removal in Broughton
Artex removal in Broughton
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings coming down, including Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near Broughton 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 there are no surprises.

Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is
- Across London and the South East
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
A few practical points:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

What else we do in Broughton
Your questions about Artex removal in Broughton
Could my house in Broughton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes, we cover Broughton and the area towards Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 4.3 miles south.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
