Artex removal for Clapham Junction properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s ceilings before skimming and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
Ceilings in Clapham Junction conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Covering London and the South East
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Domestic and commercial work

Your questions about Artex removal in Clapham Junction
Do you cover Clapham Junction and the area around Clapham Junction station?
Yes, we cover Clapham Junction, including the streets around Clapham Junction station.
Is the Artex in my Clapham Junction home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Why people call us in Clapham Junction
