Stoke Newington questions
Can you work in Stoke Newington with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Stoke Newington station?
Yes. Stoke Newington station is about 0.5 miles east of Stoke Newington, and we cover both.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Stoke Newington
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Stoke Newington station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- The method and controls
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What category of work it is
- Suitable insurance for the work
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
