Artex removal near Farley Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From coatings already disturbed and loft conversions and extensions, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Rural homes near Farley Green have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in Farley Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets out of the work area
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
