Artex removal for Green End
Artex removal near Green End
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From walls before tiling and coatings already disturbed, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Green End have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
The scope of Artex removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
