Artex removal in Northumberland Park
Artex removal for Northumberland Park properties
If your renovation in Northumberland Park involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Ceilings in Northumberland Park conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What happens next
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Some practical advice:
- Each different coating needs testing

Avoid these
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- The access route
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Records for your files
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Typical Artex jobs in Northumberland Park

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Northumberland Park, near St Paul's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Common questions in Northumberland Park
Do textured ceilings in Northumberland Park homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Northumberland Park homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Northumberland Park can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Northumberland Park, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
