Artex removal in Lyde Green
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. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Village homes like those in Lyde Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

Lyde Green questions
Do you cover Lyde Green from London?
We cover Lyde Green, about 41 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Lyde Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Your options compared
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
