How artex removal works in City of London
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in City of London
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Typical jobs in City of London include:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings damaged by leaks
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
City of London questions
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
