Artex removal for Burlington Estate
Artex removal in Burlington Estate
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Burlington Estate, often painted over many times. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your options compared
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What we deal with in Burlington Estate
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Structural work through coated ceilings
For a school such as LITE Regal International School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Step by step
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
