FAQs for Wallington
Is the Artex in my Wallington home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Wallington have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wallington
Many trades want a test result first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Older homes across Wallington may have coatings added during past renovations.

What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- How easy it is to reach
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
