Artex removal in West Hendon
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and textured walls before a refit, involving textured walls, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Ceilings in West Hendon conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in West Hendon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What happens
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
