Artex removal for Bedford Park
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How artex removal works in Bedford Park
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Bedford Park. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
In London conversions like those in Bedford Park, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Bedford Park
Is asbestos common in Bedford Park homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bedford Park may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near South Acton station?
Yes, we cover Bedford Park, including the streets around South Acton station.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
After the job
The surface is left ready for making good.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bedford Park, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
