Artex removal for Rise Park properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Rise Park, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
Ceilings in Rise Park conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Rise Park
Do older homes in Rise Park have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gidea Park station?
Yes. Gidea Park station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Rise Park, and we cover both.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Street parking nearby
- The access route
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
