Duty holders and landlords in Addington
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Addington must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
About our artex removal in Addington
If your renovation in Addington involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings before downlights go in, involving textured walls, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Addington, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Addington
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in Addington:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If you are refurbishing flats near West Wickham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork

- Any exclusions
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.

Your questions about Artex removal in Addington
Do you work near West Wickham station?
Yes. West Wickham station is about 1.7 miles north-east of Addington, and we cover both.
Do you work in Addington despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
