How artex removal works in SE9
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings damaged by DIY, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

Where we remove Artex in SE9
From Eltham, Sidcup and Chislehurst to small villages, homes across SE9 have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is.
Eltham: If you are refurbishing a rental near Mottingham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. A school like St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

- Ceilings before plastering
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in SE9, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in SE9
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
