Artex removal for Tokyngton properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings before plastering, we cover swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses and more.
In flats and houses around Tokyngton, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Common questions in Tokyngton
Can you work in Tokyngton with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Tokyngton and the area around Stonebridge Park station?
Yes, we cover Tokyngton, including the streets around Stonebridge Park station.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
