Artex removal near Canons Park
Artex removal for Canons Park properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and flaking textured ceilings.
Ceilings in Canons Park conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Weighing up your options
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
How we work in Canons Park
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Read how we quote and published price ranges.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Send photos of the coatings
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
You’ll get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
