Artex removal in Brent Park
Artex removal near Brent Park
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Brent Park, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and landlord refurbishments, including coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Ceilings in Brent Park conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical Artex jobs in Brent Park
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
For a school such as Mitchell Brook Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Brent Park: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Brent Park home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you work in Brent Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
