Artex removal across SW6
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. We often deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people usually contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and rented flats before redecoration.
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Why people call us in SW6
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in SW6, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
FAQs for SW6
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
