Artex removal in Walthamstow Village
About our artex removal in Walthamstow Village
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Walthamstow Village. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and loft conversions, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Walthamstow Village, often painted over many times. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Walthamstow Village
Do you cover Walthamstow Village and the area around Walthamstow Central station?
Yes, we cover Walthamstow Village, including the streets around Walthamstow Central station.
Do you work in Walthamstow Village despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Walthamstow Village were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- Damaged areas
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
A closer look at the materials
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Going forward:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
