Artex removal for Tulse Hill properties

For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, involving stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.

Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like Tulse Hill, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Where asbestos turns up

Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Coatings damaged by leaks
Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Loft conversions and extensions
Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

If your home is one of the older properties in Tulse Hill, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

For businesses and landlords in Tulse Hill

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tulse Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Looking after things afterwards

File the result and the paperwork.

Staying safe afterwards:

Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Test every different coating
Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Keep the results and paperwork

Avoid these

Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

FAQs for Tulse Hill

Do textured ceilings in Tulse Hill homes contain asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Do you cover Tulse Hill and the area around Tulse Hill station?

Yes. Tulse Hill station is close to the centre of Tulse Hill, and we cover the whole area.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.

Can I stay at home while you work?

The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Should I take the ceiling down instead?

Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.

Materials we deal with

Ceiling roses and cornices

They’re included in the test if they’re coated.

Coated plasterboard

Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.

What we do and don’t cover

Some limits to bear in mind:

Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
