Artex removal for Roehampton properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and coatings damaged by DIY.
Ceilings in Roehampton conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before tiling
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If your home is one of the older properties in Roehampton, near St Margaret's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Things not to do
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Roehampton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Common questions in Roehampton
Do you cover Roehampton and the area around Barnes station?
Yes, we cover Roehampton and the area towards Barnes station, about 0.8 miles north.
Is asbestos common in Roehampton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
