Artex removal in Chadwell Heath
Artex removal for Chadwell Heath properties
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. We often deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and coatings scraped during DIY.
In London conversions like those in Chadwell Heath, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. 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.

FAQs for Chadwell Heath
Do you work near Chadwell Heath station?
Yes. Chadwell Heath station is about 0.9 miles south-west of Chadwell Heath, and we cover both.
Is the Artex in my Chadwell Heath home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us room sizes
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
