Our artex removal in IG2
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about coatings already disturbed and ceilings before skimming.
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked.
- Get in touch with photos
- We test a sample of each coating
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding. Ask about the method and the waste.

Questions from IG2
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Do I need a test or a survey?
