About our artex removal in Redbridge
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and flaking textured ceilings.
In flats and houses around Redbridge, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Redbridge
Do you cover Redbridge and the area around Ilford station?
Yes, we cover Redbridge and the area towards Ilford station, about 1.4 miles south-east.
Do you work in Redbridge despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
Non-domestic buildings like Redbridge Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
