Artex removal in Fulwell
How artex removal works in Fulwell
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From landlord refurbishments and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
Ceilings in Fulwell conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- No removal until we know what it is
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After we have finished:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Send photos of the coatings
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Questions from Fulwell
Is asbestos common in Fulwell homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Fulwell despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Fulwell

You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

- Ceilings before plastering

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
