Artex removal in Newton Leys
How artex removal works in Newton Leys
Planning a renovation in Newton Leys with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. From ceilings coming down and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Homes in towns and villages like Newton Leys may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Newton Leys
Is the Artex in my Newton Leys home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Newton Leys from London?
We cover Newton Leys, about 43 miles from central London.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you work in Newton Leys?
Yes, we do: our area includes Newton Leys and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Photo tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these

Helpful guides
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
