Artex removal near De Beauvoir Town
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From ceilings before skimming and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Ceilings in De Beauvoir Town conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for De Beauvoir Town
Do textured ceilings in De Beauvoir Town homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in De Beauvoir Town despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The scope of Artex removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
