Artex removal in Rosehill
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Rosehill. Whether it’s ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and textured walls before a refit, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Ceilings in Rosehill conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Rosehill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
Choosing the right option
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear advice on your options

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you are refurbishing a rental near Sutton Common station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Rosehill properties and textured coatings
Rosehill is about 3 miles south-east of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Rosehill has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Rosehill is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We work right across the region, from Rosehill to London (9 miles away).

FAQs for Rosehill
Do older homes in Rosehill have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Rosehill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
