Artex removal near Tyburn
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Tyburn. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people generally contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
In flats and houses around Tyburn, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Tyburn: your questions answered
Can you work in Tyburn with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Tyburn contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Is my textured ceiling in Tyburn asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.

Duty holders and landlords in Tyburn
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How it works
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Getting ready

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
