Artex removal near Edmonton
Artex in Edmonton homes
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cover Edmonton as part of Greater London, for Artex jobs of every size. Edmonton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our area stretches from Edmonton to London (9 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Edmonton, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. If you’re refurbishing flats near Edmonton Green station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
We cover Artex jobs across N9, N18, N13 and EN1 and the streets around it. That could mean a property on The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road or the roads around them, wherever it is in Edmonton. Edmonton is on the B137 and B154, which makes it simple to get to. For properties just outside Edmonton, we cover Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also work in London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).

FAQs for Edmonton
Is asbestos common in Edmonton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Edmonton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Edmonton with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you cover Edmonton?
We do: Edmonton is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Edmonton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Looking after things afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
