About our artex removal in Woodside Park
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From ceilings before plastering and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In flats and houses around Woodside Park, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Test before the builders arrive.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Ceilings before plastering
- Textured walls before a refit
- Damaged or cracked coatings

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Woodside Park questions
Do you work in Woodside Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Woodside Park contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
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 it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
