A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What happens next
File the result and the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Test before the builders arrive.
Your questions about Artex removal in Brentham Garden Suburb
Do textured ceilings in Brentham Garden Suburb homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can you work in Brentham Garden Suburb with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
