How artex removal works in CR90
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site

Where we remove Artex in CR90
From Broad Green and Old Town to small villages, homes across CR90 have textured ceilings. Testing comes first, wherever you are.
Broad Green: If you’re refurbishing flats near West Croydon station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. Non-domestic buildings like Elmwood Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
- Keep pets away
- Book your plasterer after removal
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in CR90, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Options to consider in CR90
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better.

FAQs for CR90
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you cover CR90?
Yes, we do: our area includes CR90 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
