Artex removal for Donnybrook Quarter properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings before plastering, including coated ceiling roses, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In London conversions like those in Donnybrook Quarter, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about Artex removal in Donnybrook Quarter
Is asbestos common in Donnybrook Quarter homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Donnybrook Quarter with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you cover Donnybrook Quarter?
Yes, we do: our area includes Donnybrook Quarter and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
