Artex removal in Pinner Green
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. Typical materials include stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Ceilings in Pinner Green conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Typical Artex jobs in Pinner Green
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Older homes across Pinner Green may have coatings added during past renovations.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Pinner Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
