Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Notting Dale, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Artex removal near Notting Dale
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Notting Dale, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Why people call us in Notting Dale
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
In older properties, we often see:
- Walls before tiling

If your home is one of the older properties in Notting Dale, near Church of St Sava or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

FAQs for Notting Dale
Do older homes in Notting Dale have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Notting Dale homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How much does Artex removal cost in Notting Dale?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
