About our artex removal in Broyle Side
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and structural work through coated ceilings, including stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In places like Broyle Side, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Broyle Side: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Broyle Side home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is my textured ceiling in Broyle Side asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
How much does Artex removal cost in Broyle Side?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
