About our artex removal in Eastfields
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
In flats and houses around Eastfields, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

- Flaking textured ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before plastering
For rented flats close to Mitcham Eastfields station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
