Asbestos help in Enfield Chase
How artex removal works in Enfield Chase
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people typically contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and textured walls before a refit.
In London conversions like those in Enfield Chase, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What affects the price in Enfield Chase
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Test every different coating
- Send photos of the coatings
- Book your plasterer after removal
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
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 generally better. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Enfield Chase: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Enfield Chase homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Enfield Chase station?
Yes, we cover Enfield Chase, including the streets around Enfield Chase station.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
