How artex removal works in Brook Green
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Brook Green. From ceilings coming down and coatings already disturbed, we cover stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
In London conversions like those in Brook Green, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Brook Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Brook Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Brook Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Weighing up your options
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
