How artex removal works in Crews Hill
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Crews Hill. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
In London conversions like those in Crews Hill, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Crews Hill
Do you work near Crews Hill station?
Yes, we cover Crews Hill, including the streets around Crews Hill station.
Is the Artex in my Crews Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer

Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Records for your files
- Domestic and commercial work
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Crews Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
