How artex removal works in Parkhurst
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. From ceilings coming down and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Parkhurst have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Parkhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Parkhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Parkhurst homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
