How artex removal works in Petersfield
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and ceilings before downlights go in.
In towns like Petersfield, plenty of homes from the 1960s to 1990s have textured ceilings, though older homes may have them too. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Duty holders and landlords in Petersfield
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
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.
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
What happens next
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
