Artex removal near Hadley
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and walls before tiling.
In London conversions like those in Hadley, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Hadley: your questions answered
Can you work in Hadley with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near New Barnet station?
Yes. New Barnet station is about 1.3 miles south-east of Hadley, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Hadley, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
