How artex removal works in Woodside
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and flaking textured ceilings, involving Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
In flats and houses around Woodside, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from Woodside
Do older homes in Woodside have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Norwood Junction station?
Yes, we cover Woodside and the area towards Norwood Junction station, about 0.7 miles north-west.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
