Artex removal near Newington Green
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Newington Green. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings already disturbed.
In London conversions like those in Newington Green, one ceiling may have several coatings from different decades, so each may need testing. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Newington Green
Do you cover Newington Green and the area around Canonbury station?
Yes, we cover Newington Green, including the streets around Canonbury station.
Is asbestos common in Newington Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newington Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How much does Artex removal cost in Newington Green?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

If asbestos stays in the building:
