Artex removal near Stubbings
Artex removal for Stubbings properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and coatings damaged by leaks, involving textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
In places like Stubbings, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
How it works
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

The scope of Artex removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- We need the room cleared
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
What we deal with in Stubbings
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings scraped during DIY
Non-domestic buildings like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School should already have records of any textured coatings.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in Stubbings
Do you work near Furze Platt station?
Yes. Furze Platt station is about 2.2 miles east of Stubbings, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Stubbings homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
