About our artex removal in Carshalton
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From walls before tiling and coatings damaged by leaks, we deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Ceilings in Carshalton conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any

If your home is one of the older properties in Carshalton, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Duty holders and landlords in Carshalton
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Carshalton
Do you cover Carshalton and the area around Carshalton station?
Yes, we cover Carshalton, including the streets around Carshalton station.
Do you work in Carshalton despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
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’ll advise on the next step.

Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
