How artex removal works in SO21
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a 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

FAQs for SO21
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
