Artex removal for Gipsy Hill properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people normally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Gipsy Hill, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Gipsy Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Gipsy Hill and the area around Gipsy Hill station?
Yes. Gipsy Hill station is close to the centre of Gipsy Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Gipsy Hill 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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
- Structural work through coated ceilings
In older homes in Gipsy Hill, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
