Artex removal for Peters Village properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From ceilings coming down and textured walls before a refit, we cover stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
In Peters Village, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Looking after things afterwards

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos help us quote
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork

What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
These are some of the things we deal with in Peters Village:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
If you’re refurbishing flats near Snodland station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you’ll receive
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the job needs notifying
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Your questions about Artex removal in Peters Village
Do older homes in Peters Village have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Peters Village and the area around Snodland station?
Yes, we cover Peters Village and the area towards Snodland station, about 1 mile south-west.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Peters Village must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
