Artex removal for Neasden
Artex removal for Neasden properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s structural work through coated ceilings and coatings already disturbed, we deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls and more.
Ceilings in Neasden conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. We only recommend work that is needed.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What happens
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Neasden were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Neasden: your questions answered
Do older homes in Neasden have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Neasden and the area around Brent Cross West station?
Yes, we cover Neasden and the area towards Brent Cross West station, about 1.3 miles north-east.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you cover Neasden?
Yes, we do: Neasden is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
After the job
