How artex removal works in World's End

According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about walls before tiling and ceilings before skimming.

In London conversions like those in World's End, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

What’s included, and what isn’t

A few things to be aware of:

We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
We need the room cleared
We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

What we deal with

Coated plasterboard
Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Artex ceilings
Patched or painted coatings
Swirl and stipple patterns
Textured walls

More about artex removal

Should you do it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Your questions about Artex removal in World's End

Can you work in World's End with London’s parking rules?

We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.

Do textured ceilings in World's End homes contain asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Is Artex removal licensed work?

Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.

Do you work in World's End?

Yes. We cover World's End and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

What paperwork will I get?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

What happens next

If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.

Once we are done:

Book your plasterer after removal
Keep pets away
Give us room sizes
Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off

Don’ts

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Where asbestos turns up

Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Ceilings before downlights go in
Textured walls before a refit
Extensions that cut into ceilings

If you are refurbishing a rental near Grange Park station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Questions to ask before booking

Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Whether the job needs notifying
Where the waste goes, with paperwork
The scope of the job, in writing
