Artex removal for Three Chimneys properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From loft conversions and coatings damaged by leaks, we cover stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Three Chimneys have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
