Artex removal in Newpound Common
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people normally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings before skimming.
In a village like Newpound Common, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Newpound Common must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings

Newpound Common questions
Do you cover small places like Newpound Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Newpound Common homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Newpound Common?
Yes, Newpound Common is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
