About our artex removal in Pease Pottage
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and loft conversions and extensions, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
In Pease Pottage, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For businesses and landlords in Pease Pottage
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.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Reports and results you can share

What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Keeping things safe:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards

- Keep pets out of the work area
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Pease Pottage questions
Do you cover Pease Pottage and the area around Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is about 2 miles north of Pease Pottage, and we cover both.
Is the Artex in my Pease Pottage home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
