About our artex removal in Newbridge
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From textured walls before a refit and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In places like Newbridge, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
After we’ve finished:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- File the test result and waste note
- Send photos of the coatings
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Duty holders and landlords in Newbridge
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Common questions in Newbridge
Do you cover small places like Newbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Newbridge contain asbestos?
If your home in Newbridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
