Artex removal in Snaresbrook
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Snaresbrook, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
Ceilings in Snaresbrook conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Snaresbrook
Can you work in Snaresbrook with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Snaresbrook and the area around Wood Street station?
Yes, we cover Snaresbrook and the area towards Wood Street station, about 0.7 miles west.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you cover Snaresbrook?
We do: our area includes Snaresbrook and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
