Artex removal near Crooked Billet
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s structural work through coated ceilings and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.
Ceilings in Crooked Billet conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Crooked Billet
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings coming down
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
If your home is one of the older properties in Crooked Billet, near Christ Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which areas and materials are covered
Common questions in Crooked Billet
Is the Artex in my Crooked Billet home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Raynes Park station?
Yes, we cover Crooked Billet and the area towards Raynes Park station, about 0.9 miles south.
Is my textured ceiling in Crooked Billet asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets out of the work area
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Crooked Billet, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Step by step
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
