FAQs for Wallend
Do you work in Wallend despite London parking restrictions?
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.
Is asbestos common in Wallend homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is my textured ceiling in Wallend asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
About our artex removal in Wallend
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people normally contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration.
In London conversions like those in Wallend, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Wallend
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Non-domestic buildings like Nelson Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Any exclusions
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
