How artex removal works in Seven Sisters
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From loft conversions and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard and more.
In flats and houses around Seven Sisters, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Typical Artex jobs in Seven Sisters
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
A school like Earlsmead Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What paperwork you get
- What is not included
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Questions from Seven Sisters
Do you work in Seven Sisters despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do older homes in Seven Sisters have asbestos?
Any home in Seven Sisters built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
