Artex removal for New Charlton
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Artex removal in New Charlton
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings coming down, involving coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In London conversions like those in New Charlton, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so we test each coating. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented flats before redecoration
If you’re refurbishing flats near Charlton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

FAQs for New Charlton
Do older homes in New Charlton have asbestos?
If your home in New Charlton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover New Charlton and the area around Charlton station?
Yes. Charlton station is close to the centre of New Charlton, and we cover the whole area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
