About our artex removal in Peckham Bush
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Peckham Bush, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and loft conversions and extensions, including coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Peckham Bush have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Peckham Bush: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Peckham Bush?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Peckham Bush homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Peckham Bush?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is my textured ceiling in Peckham Bush asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The category of work
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- An idea of size

Should you do it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Peckham Bush
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
