Artex removal near Broughton
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Broughton. From coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings before plastering, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.
Village homes like those in Broughton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What we deal with in Broughton
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
A school like Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Before booking anyone
- What category of work it is
- Whether VAT is included
- How fibres will be kept down
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Your questions about Artex removal in Broughton
Is asbestos common in Broughton homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Broughton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Banbury station?
Yes. Banbury station is about 2.7 miles north-east of Broughton, and we cover both.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
