Artex removal for Newbury Park
FAQs for Newbury Park
Do you cover Newbury Park and the area around Seven Kings station?
Yes. Seven Kings station is about 1 mile south-east of Newbury Park, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Newbury Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?

Artex removal near Newbury Park
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings before skimming, including Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In London conversions like those in Newbury Park, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
