Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
After we’ve finished in Cannon Hill
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
A few practical points:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Get in touch with photos
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We carry out the removal
- We dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Common questions in Cannon Hill
Is the Artex in my Cannon Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near South Merton station?
Yes. South Merton station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Cannon Hill, and we cover both.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work in Cannon Hill?
We do: our area includes Cannon Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Choosing the right option
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Always test first. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
