Artex removal for Kitts End
Kitts End questions
Do textured ceilings in Kitts End homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you work in Kitts End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How much does Artex removal cost in Kitts End?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Artex removal near Kitts End
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 Kitts End. From coatings scraped during DIY and loft conversions, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Ceilings in Kitts End conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Duty holders and landlords in Kitts End
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before tiling
A school like Monken Hadley CofE Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
