How artex removal works in Kingston Vale
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and textured walls before a refit.
In flats and houses around Kingston Vale, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
The scope of Artex removal
Before you book, note that:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Patched or painted coatings

Questions from Kingston Vale
Can you work in Kingston Vale with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Kingston Vale have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is my textured ceiling in Kingston Vale asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.
