About our artex removal in Fortune Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings before downlights go in.
In London conversions like those in Fortune Green, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Fortune Green
Do you cover Fortune Green and the area around West Hampstead Thameslink station?
Yes, we cover Fortune Green and the area towards West Hampstead Thameslink station, about 0.5 miles south.
Can you work in Fortune Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
After the job

Some practical advice:
- Book your plasterer after removal

Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
