What else we do in Wood Green
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Options to consider in Wood Green
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Across London and the South East
- Domestic and commercial work

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you manage or own a block in Wood Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Why people call us in Wood Green

People normally contact us about one of these:

- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Questions from Wood Green
Do textured ceilings in Wood Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in Wood Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you work in Wood Green?
Yes. We cover Wood Green and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
