Asbestos help in Beddington
Beddington: your questions answered
Can you work in Beddington with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Beddington have asbestos?
Any home in Beddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Artex removal near Beddington
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and extensions that cut into ceilings, including Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Beddington, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
How we work
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and 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
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Dig out previous surveys
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Beddington must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
