Artex removal in Forest Park
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
In a smaller place like Forest Park, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Forest Park
Is asbestos common in Forest Park homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Forest Park can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Forest Park home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

What else we do in Forest Park
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Forest Park
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For rented flats close to Martins Heron station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
