Artex removal in Lucas Green
Artex removal for Lucas Green 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. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
In places like Lucas Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lucas Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Lucas Green questions
Do you cover small places like Lucas Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Lucas Green from London?
Lucas Green is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Your options compared
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings before plastering
If your home is one of the older properties in Lucas Green, near Holy Trinity or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
