How artex removal works in Crofton Park
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s extensions that cut into ceilings and walls before tiling, we cover swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
In flats and houses around Crofton Park, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about Artex removal in Crofton Park
Do you work in Crofton Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Crofton Park contain asbestos?
Any home in Crofton Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Duty holders and landlords in Crofton Park
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Loft conversions
- Coatings already disturbed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Older homes across Crofton Park may have coatings added during past renovations.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you’ll receive
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
The process
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Dig out previous surveys
