Earlsfield questions
Do you work in Earlsfield despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Earlsfield station?
Yes. Earlsfield station is close to the centre of Earlsfield, and we cover the whole area.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How artex removal works in Earlsfield
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about loft conversions and textured walls before a refit, involving coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In London conversions like those in Earlsfield, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
