Artex removal near Newnham
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Whether it’s rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
In a village like Newnham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Newnham: your questions answered
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 1.2 miles east of Newnham, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Newnham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you work in Newnham?
Yes, we do: Newnham is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
