How artex removal works in Middle Park
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and walls before tiling, including textured walls, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like Middle Park, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Middle Park
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are some of the things we deal with in Middle Park:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings coming down
For rented flats close to Mottingham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
