Artex removal near South Newington
Artex removal for South Newington properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about ceilings coming down and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In a village like South Newington, 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
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Common questions in South Newington
Do textured ceilings in South Newington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How far is South Newington from London?
We cover South Newington, about 66 miles from central London.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
After the job
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Test before the builders arrive.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
