Artex removal in London Fields
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and walls before tiling, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like London Fields, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Your questions about Artex removal in London Fields
Do you work near London Fields station?
Yes, we cover London Fields, including the streets around London Fields station.
Could my house in London Fields contain asbestos?
Any home in London Fields built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
How much does Artex removal cost in London Fields?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What happens
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in London Fields were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
