Typical Artex jobs in Crossness
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
A school like St John Fisher Catholic Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Your questions about Artex removal in Crossness
Do you cover Crossness and the area around Abbey Wood station?
Yes, we cover Crossness and the area towards Abbey Wood station, about 0.8 miles south-west.
Do you work in Crossness despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Step by step
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Get in touch with photos
- We test a sample of each coating
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
