Asbestos help in Queen's Park
Duty holders and landlords in Queen's Park
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Queen's Park must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Artex removal near Queen's Park
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Queen's Park. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and coatings damaged by DIY.
Ceilings in Queen's Park conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

How it works
Our team wears protective equipment, and keep the room closed while we work. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Questions from Queen's Park
Do you work in Queen's Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is the Artex in my Queen's Park home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Is my textured ceiling in Queen's Park asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Why people call us in Queen's Park
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are some of the things we deal with in Queen's Park:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before tiling
- Structural work through coated ceilings
Non-domestic buildings like St Luke's CofE Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
