Artex removal near Manor House
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls.
In London conversions like those in Manor House, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Manor House questions
Do you work near Harringay Green Lanes station?
Yes. Harringay Green Lanes station is close to the centre of Manor House, and we cover the whole area.
Is the Artex in my Manor House home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
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.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Typical Artex jobs in Manor House
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings damaged by leaks
For a school such as Woodberry Down Community Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Places near Manor House
After the job
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Manor House must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
