Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

Artex removal for Castle Green properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Castle Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and rented flats before redecoration, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
In London conversions like those in Castle Green, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Castle Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Barking Riverside station?
Yes. Barking Riverside station is about 1 mile south of Castle Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Castle Green homes?
If your home in Castle Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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.

- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
