How artex removal works in HP22
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in HP22. We often deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and flaking textured ceilings.
Our team wears protective equipment, and the room stays closed.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Cost
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in HP22, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Common questions in HP22
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
