If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings

Artex removal for Newyears Green properties
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by DIY and walls before tiling, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Newyears Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What else we do in Newyears Green
Common questions in Newyears Green
Do you come out to small villages like Newyears Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Newyears Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Typical Artex jobs in Newyears Green
Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings scraped during DIY

For a school such as Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
- The quantity or area
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- An overall view
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Can I do it myself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Options to consider in Newyears Green
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Clear advice on your options
- No removal until we know what it is
