How artex removal works in Shooter's Hill
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Shooter's Hill. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings coming down.
Ceilings in Shooter's Hill conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What affects the price in Shooter's Hill
What drives the price:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
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.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions
If you are refurbishing a rental near Falconwood station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’ts
Test before the builders arrive.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Your questions about Artex removal in Shooter's Hill
Is the Artex in my Shooter's Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Shooter's Hill and the area around Falconwood station?
Yes, we cover Shooter's Hill and the area towards Falconwood station, about 0.9 miles south-east.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
