Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Going forward:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Choosing the right option
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What happens
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
