Artex removal in Wembley
Planning a renovation in Wembley with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
Ceilings in Wembley conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets away
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

FAQs for Wembley
Do textured ceilings in Wembley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Wembley contain asbestos?
If your home in Wembley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wembley
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Non-domestic buildings like Wembley Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
