A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If you’re refurbishing flats near Chiswick station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What isn’t included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The method and controls
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
A few practical points:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

Chiswick: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Chiswick homes?
If your home in Chiswick was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Chiswick and the area around Chiswick station?
Yes, we cover Chiswick and the area towards Chiswick station, about 0.8 miles south-west.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
