Artex removal in Wimbledon Park
Artex removal for Wimbledon Park properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings coming down, we deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
Ceilings in Wimbledon Park conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Artex in Wimbledon Park homes
Wimbledon Park is about 1 mile north of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Wimbledon Park has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Wimbledon Park is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We work right across the region, from Wimbledon Park to London (about 7 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Wimbledon Park, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. For rented flats close to Earlsfield station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
We handle Artex jobs in every part of SW19 and SW18. Your property could be on Dora Road, Church Road and Arthur Road, wherever it is in Wimbledon Park. Main roads around Wimbledon Park include the A218, so mention parking if the property is on one. Neighbouring places we cover include Wimbledon (1 mile south), Crooked Billet (1 mile south-west), Copse Hill (2 miles south-west), Merton Park (2 miles south) and Wimbledon Chase (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also work in London (7 miles north-east), City of Westminster (6 miles north-east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (4 miles north), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).
As a London location, Wimbledon Park is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: tell us about parking, permits and access when you ask for a quote.

Helpful guides
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Why people call us in Wimbledon Park
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wimbledon Park:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
Non-domestic buildings like Albemarle Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
FAQs for Wimbledon Park
Do you work in Wimbledon Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Wimbledon Park contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wimbledon Park can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
Do you work in Wimbledon Park?
Yes, Wimbledon Park is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Weighing up your options
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
