Where asbestos turns up
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
For a school such as Fairholme Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see

How we price Artex removal
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Common questions in Bedfont
Do you cover Bedfont and the area around Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station?
Yes, we cover Bedfont and the area towards Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, about 0.7 miles north-west.
Do older homes in Bedfont have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
After we’ve finished in Bedfont
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Don’ts
