Questions from Belmont
Do textured ceilings in Belmont homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Belmont from London?
We cover Belmont, about 12 miles from central London.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- Access to the area

After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
