Artex removal for Perham Down
About our artex removal in Perham Down
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Perham Down. Common materials are textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and textured walls before a refit.
Village homes like those in Perham Down have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.

Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the rooms before the work

- Give us room sizes
Things not to do
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

Towns and villages near Perham Down
Common questions in Perham Down
Do you cover small places like Perham Down?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Perham Down have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If your home is one of the older properties in Perham Down, near Church of St James or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What to look for in a quote
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- If the price includes VAT
DIY and asbestos
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For businesses and landlords in Perham Down
If your business premises in Perham Down were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
