Asbestos help in Pett
Artex removal in Pett
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings before plastering, involving coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Pett have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Pett must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Pett: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Pett homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Pett from London?
We cover Pett, about 53 miles from central London.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
How much does Artex removal cost in Pett?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
