Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
These come up again and again:

FAQs for South Ealing
Do textured ceilings in South Ealing homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in South Ealing contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How much does Artex removal cost in South Ealing?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
