A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer

Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These are some of the things we deal with in RH17:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by leaks
Questions from RH17
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
