Artex removal near Manor Park
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. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and ceilings before plastering.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Manor Park, often painted over many times. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Your questions about Artex removal in Manor Park
Do you work in Manor Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover Manor Park and the area around Manor Park station?
Yes. Manor Park station is about 0.5 miles west of Manor Park, and we cover both.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Manor Park, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
