Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Alperton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

How artex removal works in Alperton
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and flaking textured ceilings, including stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls.
In flats and houses around Alperton, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Alperton
Could my house in Alperton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Alperton homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How much does Artex removal cost in Alperton?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
