Why people call us in Sewardstonebury
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
For a school such as Yardley Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Comparing quotes
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in Sewardstonebury
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Sewardstonebury were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.

Your questions about Artex removal in Sewardstonebury
Can you work in Sewardstonebury with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Is asbestos common in Sewardstonebury homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sewardstonebury may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
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.
