Artex removal for Broadwater Farm
Artex removal in Broadwater Farm
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. From ceilings coming down and textured walls before a refit, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and stipple finishes.
In London conversions like those in Broadwater Farm, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
FAQs for Broadwater Farm
Do you work in Broadwater Farm despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Bruce Grove station?
Yes. Bruce Grove station is about 0.5 miles east of Broadwater Farm, and we cover both.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
