Helpful guides
How artex removal works in Broxhill
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and people generally contact us about landlord refurbishments and ceilings coming down.
Village homes like those in Broxhill have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Typical Artex jobs in Broxhill
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming

If your home is one of the older properties in Broxhill, near Church of St James or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

FAQs for Broxhill
Do you come out to small villages like Broxhill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Broxhill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Broxhill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
