About our artex removal in Slade Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and coatings already disturbed, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Slade Green, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

How we price Artex removal
Prices vary with:
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Slade Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Slade Green and the area around Slade Green station?
Yes. Slade Green station is close to the centre of Slade Green, and we cover the whole area.
Do textured ceilings in Slade Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you cover Slade Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Slade Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented flats before redecoration
A school like St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Options to consider in Slade Green
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Quotes that spell out the scope
Read how we price jobs or published price ranges.
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Going forward:
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Avoid these
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
