Asbestos help in Regents Park
Artex removal in Regents Park
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Whether it’s flaking textured ceilings and loft conversions and extensions, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings and more.
In Regents Park, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Regents Park were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
If your home is one of the older properties in Regents Park, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Regents Park questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Regents Park and the area around Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes, we cover Regents Park and the area towards Millbrook (Hants) station, about 0.6 miles south-east.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
