Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Artex removal for Heathrow properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and coatings already disturbed, including textured walls, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Heathrow have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Common questions in Heathrow
Do older homes in Heathrow have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Heathrow may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station?
Yes, we cover Heathrow, including the streets around Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After we’ve finished in Heathrow
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
