Artex removal for Hill Brow properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Whether it’s rented homes refurbished between tenants and textured walls before a refit, we cover stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Rural homes near Hill Brow have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

How we price Artex removal
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Hill Brow questions
Is the Artex in my Hill Brow home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do older homes in Hill Brow have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Hill Brow, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you manage or own a block in Hill Brow, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What we deal with in Hill Brow
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings coming down
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Loft conversions and extensions
If your home is one of the older properties in Hill Brow, near Rake Mission Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
