Asbestos help in Benhilton
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Artex removal near Benhilton
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and loft conversions, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard and more.
Ceilings in Benhilton conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Benhilton
Is asbestos common in Benhilton homes?
If your home in Benhilton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Benhilton with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Benhilton?
Yes, we do: Benhilton is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Typical Artex jobs in Benhilton
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If you are refurbishing flats near Sutton Common station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Test before the builders arrive.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
