Artex removal in Carpenders Park
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and landlord refurbishments, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like Carpenders Park, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Carpenders Park must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Carpenders Park
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.

Questions from Carpenders Park
Do older homes in Carpenders Park have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Carpenders Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you work in Carpenders Park?
Yes, Carpenders Park is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
