About our artex removal in Lampton
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings before plastering and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
Ceilings in Lampton conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Lampton
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Your questions about Artex removal in Lampton
Is asbestos common in Lampton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Lampton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Lampton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we deal with in Lampton
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Loft conversions
If your home is one of the older properties in Lampton, near St Luke or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
