Artex removal in Coney Hall
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Artex removal near Coney Hall
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and ceilings before plastering.
In London conversions like those in Coney Hall, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Coney Hall
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Coney Hall must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Coney Hall questions
Is asbestos common in Coney Hall homes?
If your home in Coney Hall was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Coney Hall home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
