About our artex removal in St Pancras

Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. From walls before tiling and extensions that cut into ceilings, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.

In flats and houses around St Pancras, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

More about this service

Should you do it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Duty holders and landlords in St Pancras

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Common questions in St Pancras

Do you cover St Pancras and the area around London Kings Cross station?

Yes. London Kings Cross station is about 0.5 miles north-west of St Pancras, and we cover both.

Could my house in St Pancras contain asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in St Pancras can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

How quickly can you come out?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Which option is right?

Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
