Artex removal for Little London properties
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and structural work through coated ceilings, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Little London have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Duty holders and landlords in Little London
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard

Your questions about Artex removal in Little London
Do you come out to small villages like Little London?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Little London contain asbestos?
Any home in Little London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Choosing the right option
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
