Artex removal in Ponders End
For businesses and landlords in Ponders End
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
About our artex removal in Ponders End
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. From coatings already disturbed and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
Ceilings in Ponders End conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Ponders End questions
Do you work near Ponders End station?
Yes. Ponders End station is close to the centre of Ponders End, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Ponders End have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ponders End can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
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.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Materials we deal with

Typical Artex jobs in Ponders End

Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Landlord refurbishments
A school like St Matthew's CofE Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
