About our artex removal in New Zealand
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and flaking textured ceilings, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near New Zealand have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

New Zealand properties and textured coatings
New Zealand is about 1 mile west of Elmhurst, in Buckinghamshire. We cover New Zealand as part of Buckinghamshire, for Artex jobs of every size. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 19 miles away.
In older homes in New Zealand, textured ceilings were often added in later decades. If you are refurbishing a rental near Aylesbury station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 6 miles of New Zealand, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.
This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP19 and HP20. We can help with Artex jobs on streets such as Dunsham Lane, Drayton Road and Cannock Road or the roads around them. If your property is just outside New Zealand, we also cover Elmhurst (1 mile east), Aylesbury (1 mile south), Watermead (1 mile north-east), Quarrendon Estate (1 mile west) and California (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also work in High Wycombe (14 miles south), Chesham (12 miles south-east), Buckingham (14 miles north-west), Amersham (14 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (7 miles south) and Haddenham (6 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (under half a mile south) and Dinton Castle (3.8 miles south-west).
- Schools near New Zealand include The PACE Centre (0.6 miles west) and Buckinghamshire UTC (0.8 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The New Zealand pub (less than half a mile south)
Common reasons for Artex jobs in New Zealand
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are some of the things we deal with in New Zealand:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before tiling
- Damaged or cracked coatings
A school like Elmhurst School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
What your quote should include

- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Your questions about Artex removal in New Zealand
Could my house in New Zealand contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in New Zealand may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my New Zealand home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
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.
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.
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Getting ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
