SE27: textured coatings in homes
In SE27, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in West Norwood, Upper Norwood and Norwood New Town and smaller places alike.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Typical Artex jobs in SE27
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions
- Coatings already disturbed
The scope of Artex removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- An overall view
- An idea of size

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in SE27 were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
SE27 questions
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
