Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How it works
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Move things out of the way carefully

Common reasons for Artex jobs in West Ealing
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
These come up again and again:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Non-domestic buildings like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- If the price includes VAT
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What paperwork you get
- Suitable insurance for the work
Choosing the right option
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from West Ealing
Do textured ceilings in West Ealing homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover West Ealing and the area around Hanwell station?
Yes, we cover West Ealing, including the streets around Hanwell station.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in West Ealing?
We do: West Ealing is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
