Artex removal near Greenhill
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Whether it’s coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings coming down, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Greenhill, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Greenhill

Typical jobs in Greenhill include:
- Loft conversions
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
If you are refurbishing a rental near Harrow-on-the-Hill station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Greenhill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
FAQs for Greenhill
Could my house in Greenhill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Greenhill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
