How artex removal works in Furner's Green
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
Rural homes near Furner's Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a 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
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Common questions in Furner's Green
Do textured ceilings in Furner's Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Furner's Green from London?
Furner's Green is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions
- Landlord refurbishments
Older homes across Furner's Green may have coatings added during past renovations.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The documents you will receive
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Furner's Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
