Artex removal for Nag's Head
Artex removal for Nag's Head properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Nag's Head, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before tiling
If your home is one of the older properties in Nag's Head, near St Joseph and St Padarn's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before booking

Nag's Head: your questions answered
Do you cover Nag's Head and the area around Drayton Park station?
Yes, we cover Nag's Head and the area towards Drayton Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east.
Do you work in Nag's Head despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you work in Nag's Head?
Yes, we do: our area includes Nag's Head and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
A few practical points:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote

Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
