Artex removal near Liverton Street
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
Rural homes near Liverton Street have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your questions about Artex removal in Liverton Street
Do you cover Liverton Street from London?
Liverton Street is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Liverton Street homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
