Service details

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Newland Green

Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.

People normally contact us about one of these:

  • Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
  • Coatings scraped during DIY
  • Flaking textured ceilings
  • Rented homes refurbished between tenants

Non-domestic buildings like Egerton Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Suitable insurance for the work

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Your questions about Artex removal in Newland Green

How far is Newland Green from London?

Newland Green is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.

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.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Could my home contain asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

How can I get a price?

Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?

Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.

Materials, one by one

Painted coatings

Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.

Textured walls

They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.

Choosing the right option

You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
