Artex removal near Homerton
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Homerton, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings coming down and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Homerton, often painted over many times. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Homerton
Do you work in Homerton despite London parking restrictions?
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.
Could my house in Homerton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Homerton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Homerton
Our quotes take into account:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
