About our artex removal in Parsons Green
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings before plastering, involving coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Ceilings in Parsons Green conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns

FAQs for Parsons Green
Do older homes in Parsons Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Parsons Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Parsons Green and the area around Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, we cover Parsons Green and the area towards Imperial Wharf station, about 0.7 miles east.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Parsons Green
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions
A school like Lady Margaret School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
