Artex removal for Bounds Green properties
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. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
In flats and houses around Bounds Green, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For businesses and landlords in Bounds Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your questions about Artex removal in Bounds Green
Do you work in Bounds Green despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Is asbestos common in Bounds Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bounds Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What affects the price in Bounds Green
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
