About our artex removal in New Yatt
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical jobs include ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
In towns and villages like New Yatt, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
