Questions from Payden Street
Is asbestos common in Payden Street homes?
Any home in Payden Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Payden Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?

For businesses and landlords in Payden Street

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Payden Street
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
A school like The Lenham School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
