How artex removal works in West Twyford
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in West Twyford, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings and more.
Ceilings in West Twyford conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in West Twyford
Do you cover West Twyford and the area around Stonebridge Park station?
Yes. Stonebridge Park station is about 0.8 miles north of West Twyford, and we cover both.
Can you work in West Twyford with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is my textured ceiling in West Twyford asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you cover West Twyford?
We do: West Twyford is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
