About our artex removal in Loughborough Junction
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and rented flats before redecoration, including coated ceiling roses, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In flats and houses around Loughborough Junction, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Loughborough Junction questions
Do you cover Loughborough Junction and the area around Loughborough Junction station?
Yes, we cover Loughborough Junction, including the streets around Loughborough Junction station.
Do you work in Loughborough Junction despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
