Artex removal in Lewisham
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From walls before tiling and coatings damaged by leaks, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Lewisham, often painted over many times. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
