How artex removal works in Clapham 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. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and coatings damaged by leaks, including Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Clapham Park, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Clapham Park
Is asbestos common in Clapham Park homes?
If your home in Clapham Park was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Clapham High Street station?
Yes, we cover Clapham Park and the area towards Clapham High Street station, about 0.8 miles north.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Is my textured ceiling in Clapham Park asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
