Artex removal for Yiewsley
About our artex removal in Yiewsley
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about ceilings coming down and ceilings before skimming.
In London conversions like those in Yiewsley, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Options to consider in Yiewsley

Questions from Yiewsley
Do you work in Yiewsley despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do textured ceilings in Yiewsley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How much does Artex removal cost in Yiewsley?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.

Our quotes take into account:
- Disposal costs

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
