Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
For a school such as Ferry Lane Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Artex removal in Tottenham Hale
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and structural work through coated ceilings.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Tottenham Hale, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
FAQs for Tottenham Hale
Can you work in Tottenham Hale with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Tottenham Hale station?
Yes. Tottenham Hale station is close to the centre of Tottenham Hale, and we cover the whole area.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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 flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
