Artex removal for Enfield Highway properties
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Ceilings in Enfield Highway conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Send photos of the coatings
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What happens
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
How to get a quote

FAQs for Enfield Highway
Do you work near Brimsdown station?
Yes, we cover Enfield Highway and the area towards Brimsdown station, about 0.6 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Enfield Highway homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
