Artex removal near Eastcote
How artex removal works in Eastcote
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, involving stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In London conversions like those in Eastcote, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Duty holders and landlords in Eastcote
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Eastcote must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Your questions about Artex removal in Eastcote
Can you work in Eastcote with London’s parking rules?
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 Headstone Lane station?
Yes. Headstone Lane station is about 1.9 miles north-east of Eastcote, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Doing 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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
