- Send photos of the coatings

What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
How artex removal works in Pamber End
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. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and loft conversions.
In a village like Pamber End, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Pamber End were built before 2000, 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 Pamber End, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Your questions about Artex removal in Pamber End
How far is Pamber End from London?
We cover Pamber End, about 46 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Pamber End home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Get in touch with photos
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Pamber End
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
For a school such as The Priory Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
