Artex removal near Euston
How artex removal works in Euston
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people normally contact us about loft conversions and textured walls before a refit.
Ceilings in Euston conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

About artex removal
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The scope of Artex removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Euston
Do you work near London Euston station?
Yes. London Euston station is close to the centre of Euston, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Euston have asbestos?
Any home in Euston built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Euston
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before tiling
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings coming down
Non-domestic buildings like UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
