South Kenton questions
Do you work in South Kenton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover South Kenton and the area around South Kenton station?
Yes. South Kenton station is close to the centre of South Kenton, and we cover the whole area.
How much does Artex removal cost in South Kenton?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Artex removal near South Kenton
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. We often deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Ceilings in South Kenton conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
