Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Typical Artex jobs in Newington
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If your home is one of the older properties in Newington, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Helpful guides
FAQs for Newington
Could my house in Newington contain asbestos?
If your home in Newington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Newington home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
