Asbestos help in North Brixton
Artex removal near North Brixton
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and walls before tiling, involving coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like North Brixton, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about Artex removal in North Brixton
Do you cover North Brixton and the area around Loughborough Junction station?
Yes. Loughborough Junction station is about 0.7 miles south-east of North Brixton, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in North Brixton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does Artex removal cost in North Brixton?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Helpful guides
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

- Artex ceilings
Duty holders and landlords in North Brixton
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in North Brixton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Which option is right?
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Always test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
For a school such as Van Gogh Academy, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
