Your questions about Artex removal in South Park
Do older homes in South Park have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Park may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover South Park from London?
We cover South Park, about 20 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Questions to ask before you book
- What isn’t included
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What paperwork you get
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings

- Coated plasterboard
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
