How artex removal works in Newfound
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
Village homes like those in Newfound have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Questions from Newfound
Do you come out to small villages like Newfound?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Newfound home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If your business premises in Newfound were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
