Artex removal in Peasmarsh
Questions from Peasmarsh
Do older homes in Peasmarsh have asbestos?
If your home in Peasmarsh was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Peasmarsh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How much does Artex removal cost in Peasmarsh?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Artex removal near Peasmarsh
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
In places like Peasmarsh, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft conversions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings scraped during DIY
For rented flats close to Rye station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Helpful guides
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Peasmarsh
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
