How artex removal works in E15
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include landlord refurbishments and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing

You’ll also find The Two Puddings pub (under half a mile south-east), Church of St John the Evangelist (within half a mile east) and Sarah Bonnell School (less than half a mile east). There is a railway station close to the centre of Stratford: Stratford (London) station. A little further out are County Borough of West Ham (under half a mile south-east) and Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End (within half a mile east). Green spaces within easy reach include Hollow Pond and Old Ford Island.
Textured ceilings across E15
From Leyton, Stratford and Forest Gate to small villages, homes across E15 have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is.
Stratford: If you are refurbishing a rental near Stratford (London) station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. A school like Stratford Circus should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you manage or own a block in E15, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
After the job
The surface is left ready for making good.
- File the test result and waste note
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
E15: your questions answered
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Yes, we do: E15 is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
