DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The process
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the way to the work area

The scope of Artex removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We need the room cleared
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
- Book your plasterer after removal
Things not to do
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
