Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Loft conversions
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Non-domestic buildings like Grove Park Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- What paperwork you get
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Grove Park questions
Do you cover Grove Park and the area around Chiswick station?
Yes. Chiswick station is close to the centre of Grove Park, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in Grove Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How it works
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Mention any parking restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
