Your questions about Artex removal in Parker's Green
How far is Parker's Green from London?
We cover Parker's Green, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you work near Tonbridge station?
Yes, we cover Parker's Green and the area towards Tonbridge station, about 2.4 miles south-west.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Which option is right?
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Covering London and the South East
