Artex removal in St Peter's
How artex removal works in St Peter's
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across St Peter's. From coatings damaged by DIY and walls before tiling, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.
In a smaller place like St Peter's, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Don’ts
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Common questions in St Peter's
Do you work near Broadstairs station?
Yes, we cover St Peter's and the area towards Broadstairs station, about 0.7 miles south-east.
Do you cover St Peter's from London?
We cover St Peter's, about 66 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Domestic and commercial work

For rented flats close to Broadstairs station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:

- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
