Artex removal in Chingford Mount
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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 Chingford Mount
Can you work in Chingford Mount with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Highams Park station?
Yes, we cover Chingford Mount and the area towards Highams Park station, about 1 mile south-east.
Is my textured ceiling in Chingford Mount asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How much does Artex removal cost in Chingford Mount?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Why people call us in Chingford Mount
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
For a school such as Lime Academy Larkswood, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
