Artex removal near Vanbrugh Park Estate
Artex removal near Vanbrugh Park Estate
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From landlord refurbishments and loft conversions, we deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Vanbrugh Park Estate, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Typical Artex jobs in Vanbrugh Park Estate

- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before plastering

If you are refurbishing flats near Maze Hill station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Vanbrugh Park Estate questions
Do you work near Maze Hill station?
Yes. Maze Hill station is about 0.5 miles north-west of Vanbrugh Park Estate, and we cover both.
Could my house in Vanbrugh Park Estate contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
