Artex removal in Bowes Park
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In flats and houses around Bowes Park, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Why people call us in Bowes Park
Many trades want a test result first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Trinity Primary Academy, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Going forward:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
Things not to do
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Questions from Bowes Park
Can you work in Bowes Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is the Artex in my Bowes Park home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Bowes Park, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
