Artex removal near Newingreen
Artex removal in Newingreen
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
In a village like Newingreen, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Newingreen: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Newingreen homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work in Newingreen?
Yes, Newingreen is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Step by step
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Looking after things afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The category of work
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Your options compared
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
