Artex removal for Peasemore properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and landlord refurbishments, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near Peasemore have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Peasemore
Many trades want a test result first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
If your home is one of the older properties in Peasemore, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before booking anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How fibres will be kept down
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Questions from Peasemore
Is the Artex in my Peasemore home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Peasemore homes?
If your home in Peasemore was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is my textured ceiling in Peasemore asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
