About our artex removal in Lower Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Lower Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets away
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Test before the builders arrive.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Lower Green questions
Do textured ceilings in Lower Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Lower Green homes?
If your home in Lower Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
