St Ann's questions
Can you work in St Ann's with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in St Ann's have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Artex removal in St Ann's
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in St Ann's, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s coatings scraped during DIY and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In London conversions like those in St Ann's, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
