Artex removal for Heath Park
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Landlord refurbishments
A school like Squirrels Heath Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

How artex removal works in Heath Park
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before tiling.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like Heath Park, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Heath Park were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Questions from Heath Park
Is the Artex in my Heath Park home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you work in Heath Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is my textured ceiling in Heath Park asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
