How artex removal works in Harrow on the Hill
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Harrow on the Hill. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Harrow on the Hill, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Harrow on the Hill
Do you work in Harrow on the Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do textured ceilings in Harrow on the Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What affects the price in Harrow on the Hill
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
