Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Send photos of the coatings
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Weighing up your options
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Clear advice on your options
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Salford, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.

Questions from Salford
Do textured ceilings in Salford homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Salford contain asbestos?
If your home in Salford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you cover Salford?
We do: our area includes Salford and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

DIY and asbestos
