Artex removal for Eel Pie Island properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses and more.
In flats and houses around Eel Pie Island, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about Artex removal in Eel Pie Island
Can you work in Eel Pie Island with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Eel Pie Island have asbestos?
If your home in Eel Pie Island was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
