Artex removal for Newchurch properties
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From ceilings coming down and flaking textured ceilings, we cover stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
In places like Newchurch, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.

Newchurch: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Newchurch homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newchurch can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Newchurch homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
