Artex removal for Gillette Corner properties
If your renovation in Gillette Corner involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before tiling, including Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Ceilings in Gillette Corner conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us room sizes
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Weighing up your options
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For rented flats close to Syon Lane station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Gillette Corner questions
Do textured ceilings in Gillette Corner homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you work in Gillette Corner with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you work in Gillette Corner?
We do: our area includes Gillette Corner and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
