Typical Artex jobs in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
For a school such as George Tomlinson Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Common questions in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Can you work in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the Artex in my Bushwood Area of Leytonstone home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

- We need the room cleared
