Artex removal near Greenhill
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Greenhill, often painted over many times. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear the way to the work area

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:

- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Greenhill
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
A school like The Royal School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
