Asbestos help in Harrow
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

How artex removal works in Harrow
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. We often deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and ceilings before plastering.
Ceilings in Harrow conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Harrow
Do textured ceilings in Harrow homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Harrow and the area around Harrow-on-the-Hill station?
Yes, we cover Harrow and the area towards Harrow-on-the-Hill station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
How much does Artex removal cost in Harrow?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Harrow must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.
