Artex removal near New Addington
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Artex removal in New Addington
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and rented flats before redecoration, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Ceilings in New Addington conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. We only recommend work that is needed.

Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the test result and waste note
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Test every different coating
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Test before the builders arrive.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in New Addington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
New Addington questions
Do you work near Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes. Hayes (Kent) station is about 2.6 miles north-east of New Addington, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in New Addington homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
