Artex removal near Norwood New Town
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s textured walls before a refit and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Norwood New Town, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Looking after things afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Keep the results and paperwork
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

What affects the price in Norwood New Town

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Yes. Gipsy Hill station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Norwood New Town, and we cover both.
