Artex removal near Selhurst
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Selhurst. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings and more.
In London conversions like those in Selhurst, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

We work in 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Selhurst to London (about 7 miles away).

What we do and don’t cover

Duty holders and landlords in Selhurst
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Selhurst questions
Do you work near Norwood Junction station?
Yes. Norwood Junction station is close to the centre of Selhurst, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Selhurst contain asbestos?
If your home in Selhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. 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 cover Selhurst?
Yes, Selhurst is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before tiling
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If you’re refurbishing flats near Norwood Junction station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
