About our artex removal in Temple Mills
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings in the way of electrical work, we cover coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings and more.
In flats and houses around Temple Mills, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

After the job
The surface is left ready for making good.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan around the closed rooms

What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.

Common questions in Temple Mills
Do textured ceilings in Temple Mills homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in Temple Mills despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I stay at home while you work?
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?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
