About our artex removal in New Eltham
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. From ceilings before skimming and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
In flats and houses around New Eltham, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
