Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
For businesses and landlords in Mop End
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The scope of Artex removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Towns and villages near Mop End
Mop End: your questions answered
Do older homes in Mop End have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mop End can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Mop End from London?
We cover Mop End, about 27 miles from central London.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep the room closed while we work. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Let us know if something’s broken

Helpful guides
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
What we deal with in Mop End
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
For a school such as Curzon Church of England Combined School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
