Artex removal in SW4
In SW4, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in Stockwell, Clapham Junction and Battersea and smaller places alike.
Clapham: A school like Clapham Manor Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested. In older homes in Clapham, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Duty holders and landlords in SW4
If your business premises in SW4 were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What affects the price in SW4
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before tiling
- Landlord refurbishments
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from SW4
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
