Artex removal in West Brompton

If your business premises in West Brompton were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

West Brompton questions
Can you work in West Brompton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover West Brompton and the area around West Brompton station?
Yes. West Brompton station is close to the centre of West Brompton, and we cover the whole area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
How much does Artex removal cost in West Brompton?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Options to consider in West Brompton
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
