Asbestos help in World's End
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
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.
Artex removal for World's End properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and coatings already disturbed, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard and more.
In a smaller place like World's End, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. We only recommend work that is needed.

Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Typical Artex jobs in World's End
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Typical jobs in World's End include:
- Walls before tiling
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions
Non-domestic buildings like Manor Field Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- VAT, clearly stated
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Common questions in World's End
How far is World's End from London?
World's End is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover World's End and the area around Wivelsfield station?
Yes, we cover World's End, including the streets around Wivelsfield station.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs

Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
