Artex removal for Three Mills properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Three Mills, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Why people call us in Three Mills
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
Non-domestic buildings like East London Science School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Common questions in Three Mills
Can you work in Three Mills with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do textured ceilings in Three Mills homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
