Afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Brasted Chart questions
Is the Artex in my Brasted Chart home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in Brasted Chart despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you cover Brasted Chart?
Yes. We cover Brasted Chart and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How we price Artex removal
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- Access to the area

- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
