Step by step

Our team wears protective equipment, and keep the room closed while we work. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. We plan the removal and send a quote
  4. The coating is removed with controls
  5. The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

How to prepare

  • Let neighbours know if the work is near them
  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime

Artex removal in Cyprus

Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.

Ceilings in Cyprus conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Artex removal around Cyprus

Cyprus is about 2 miles east of Canning Town, in Greater London. If your Artex job is in Cyprus, let us know about access when you get in touch. Cyprus is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 7 miles away.

If your home is one of the older properties in Cyprus, near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. For rented flats close to Woolwich station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Wherever your property is in E6 and E16, Artex removal is available. Local streets include Strait Road, Harper Road and Trader Road; we cover every one. If your property is just outside Cyprus, we also cover Beckton (1 mile north-east), North Woolwich (1 mile south), Royal Docks (1 mile west), East Ham (1 mile north) and Custom House (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (7 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles west) and Shoreditch (6 miles west).

As a London location, Cyprus is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.

A little further out are Greenwich Castle (3.6 miles south-west) and North Woolwich Old Station Museum (0.7 miles south). The countryside around Cyprus includes Gilbert's Pit.

  • Local schools include London Design and Engineering UTC (less than half a mile south-west) and Oasis Academy Silvertown (0.6 miles south)
  • Local facilities include East Ham (1.6 miles north)

Your questions about Artex removal in Cyprus

Do you work in Cyprus 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.

Do you cover Cyprus and the area around Woolwich station?

Yes, we cover Cyprus and the area towards Woolwich station, about 1.3 miles south.

How much does Artex removal cost in Cyprus?

It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job.

Do you cover Cyprus?

Yes, Cyprus is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Materials, one by one

Textured walls

Walls can have textured coatings too.

Painted coatings

Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.

Where asbestos turns up

Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
  • Rented flats before redecoration
  • Structural work through coated ceilings
  • Coatings damaged by DIY

Non-domestic buildings like Winsor Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What paperwork you get
  • Whether the job needs notifying
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork

What to check before you book

Afterwards

Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.

To avoid problems in future:

  • Clear the rooms before the work
  • Line up the plasterer for afterwards
  • Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • Send photos of the coatings

Things not to do

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Options to consider in Cyprus

DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Always test first. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Why choose us

  • Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
  • Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
  • No removal until we know what it is

Read how we price jobs or published price ranges.

What’s included, and what isn’t

We’re upfront about what’s included:

  • The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
  • Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
  • Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
