About our artex removal in Tottenham Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings before plastering, involving coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Ceilings in Tottenham Green conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tottenham Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Tottenham Green
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Typical jobs in Tottenham Green include:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings scraped during DIY
Non-domestic buildings like Earlsmead Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The documents you’ll receive
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Questions from Tottenham Green
Do you cover Tottenham Green and the area around Seven Sisters station?
Yes, we cover Tottenham Green, including the streets around Seven Sisters station.
Is the Artex in my Tottenham Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
The scope of Artex removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
