Artex removal for Strand-on-the-Green
For businesses and landlords in Strand-on-the-Green
If you run a business from older premises in Strand-on-the-Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Strand-on-the-Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
How artex removal works in Strand-on-the-Green
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and loft conversions, involving coated ceiling roses, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In London conversions like those in Strand-on-the-Green, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about Artex removal in Strand-on-the-Green
Do older homes in Strand-on-the-Green have asbestos?
If your home in Strand-on-the-Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Strand-on-the-Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
