Artex removal for Fulham
About our artex removal in Fulham
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are loft conversions and ceilings before plastering.
In London conversions like those in Fulham, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. We only recommend work that is needed.

Common questions in Fulham
Do you work in Fulham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near West Brompton station?
Yes. West Brompton station is about 0.8 miles north-east of Fulham, and we cover both.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you cover Fulham?
Yes, Fulham is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
