Artex removal near Leyton Grange
Artex removal in Leyton Grange
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. We often deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
In London conversions like those in Leyton Grange, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Leyton Grange: your questions answered
Can you work in Leyton Grange with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Leyton Grange have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Leyton Grange may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my textured ceiling in Leyton Grange asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos help us quote
- Test every different coating
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
