What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Artex removal for Peaks Hill properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and ceilings before downlights go in, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In London conversions like those in Peaks Hill, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Peaks Hill
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If your home is one of the older properties in Peaks Hill, near Church of St Mark or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

FAQs for Peaks Hill
Do you cover Peaks Hill and the area around Purley station?
Yes, we cover Peaks Hill and the area towards Purley station, about 0.8 miles south-east.
Can you work in Peaks Hill with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
