Artex removal across SE24
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical materials include textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people generally contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

SE24: textured coatings in homes
In SE24, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in Herne Hill, Camberwell and Loughborough Junction and smaller places alike.
Herne Hill: Non-domestic buildings like Judith Kerr Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings. If you’re refurbishing a rental near North Dulwich station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in SE24, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
What happens next
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What we deal with in SE24
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.

- Ceilings before downlights go in
SE24 questions
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
