Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

Artex removal in Denmark Hill
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and rented flats before redecoration, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In London conversions like those in Denmark Hill, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
Each job is priced individually. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
After the job
The surface is left ready for making good.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Denmark Hill questions
Do you work in Denmark Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do textured ceilings in Denmark Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is my textured ceiling in Denmark Hill asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
