Artex removal near Belsize Park
Artex removal in Belsize Park
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Common materials are coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people generally contact us about loft conversions and extensions and ceilings before skimming.
In London conversions like those in Belsize Park, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

How we price Artex removal
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Avoid these
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
How it works
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove

Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
