Perivale questions
Do textured ceilings in Perivale homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Perivale homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is my textured ceiling in Perivale asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
