About our artex removal in Totteridge
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include landlord refurbishments and loft conversions and extensions, including stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How much does Artex removal cost in Totteridge?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Options to consider in Totteridge
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

What we deal with in Totteridge
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These are some of the things we deal with in Totteridge:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings coming down
For a school such as Highcrest Academy, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What is not included
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
