Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
How artex removal works in Northolt
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Northolt. From coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Northolt, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Northolt questions
Do textured ceilings in Northolt homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Northolt Park station?
Yes, we cover Northolt and the area towards Northolt Park station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my textured ceiling in Northolt asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How much does Artex removal cost in Northolt?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
