Artex removal for Rush Green properties
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. Common materials are Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about loft conversions and coatings damaged by leaks.
Village homes like those in Rush Green have often been altered several times, 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.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Where asbestos turns up
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
If you’re refurbishing flats near Denham Golf Club station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

FAQs for Rush Green
Is the Artex in my Rush Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Rush Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
