Artex Removal Newark

Many older Newark homes still have textured ceilings from before 1999, and these Artex finishes can sometimes contain asbestos (chrysotile) coating. When Artex is disturbed through drilling, sanding or removal, it may release fine fibres associated with asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, which is why safe handling is essential.

Our Artex Removal Newark service focuses on making the process straightforward and compliant. Whether your ceiling contains asbestos or not, we use controlled methods and follow strict safety procedures to protect your property and the people living in it.

• Artex Sampling & Testing: Quick asbestos checks carried out before any removal work begins.
• Low-Dust Removal Process: Artex Removal Newark is completed using controlled scraping techniques and proper containment.
• Full Safety Protocols: Even when asbestos isn’t detected, we remove Artex using full PPE, protective sheeting and H-class filtration systems.
• Compliant Waste Handling: Any asbestos-containing Artex is sealed, double-bagged and taken to a licensed disposal facility.
• Ceilings Ready for Finishing: After Artex Removal Newark, surfaces are prepared for plastering or modern refurbishment.

Choosing trained specialists ensures your Newark home stays safe, compliant, and ready for updates with minimal disruption.

Homeowners and landlords in Newark choose Artex Removal Newark for several practical and safety-related reasons:

• Health & safety concerns: Older textured coatings may contain asbestos. Using trained Artex Removal Newark specialists reduces the risk of disturbing fibres linked to asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
• Hard to clean and maintain: Artex patterns collect dust, cobwebs and grime, making ceilings look dated and worn. Removing Artex gives your Newark property a cleaner and easier-to-maintain surface.
• Potential asbestos content: Many Artex coatings installed before the late 90s could contain asbestos. Safe removal or testing becomes essential before carrying out renovation work.
• Better for decorating: Smooth ceilings created after Artex Removal Newark make plastering, painting and decorating far simpler.
• Improves room appearance: Removing heavy texture helps ceilings look higher and rooms feel more open and bright.
• Modern property appeal: Artex instantly ages a home. Smooth, modern ceilings appeal more to buyers, surveyors and letting agents.

Choosing Artex Removal Newark means a safer property, easier refurbishment, and a more modern, valuable living space.

If your ceiling was textured before 1999, there’s a real possibility it contains asbestos. The likelihood is highest before 1984, but later coatings were not always asbestos-free.

There’s no way to tell just by looking. Laboratory testing is the only reliable method. We can take a small Artex sample from your Newark property and have it tested within 48 hours through our Asbestos Testing Newark service.

Even if the Artex doesn’t contain asbestos, professional Artex Removal Newark is still the safest approach because older textured coatings are messy, difficult to remove and easy to disturb.

Step 3: Clean, Controlled Removal

We use dust-controlled scraping, containment sheeting and H-class extraction to minimise disruption in your Newark home.

Step 4: Surface Preparation

After the Artex is removed, the ceiling is left ready for your plasterer to skim and finish.

Step 5: Waste Disposal

Any asbestos-containing material is properly bagged and taken to a licensed hazardous waste facility, following UK regulations.

We offer Artex Ceiling Removal Newark for:

Single Room Projects

• Ideal if you’re renovating one area at a time.

Whole House Projects

• More cost-effective and creates a smooth, consistent finish throughout the property.

Landlord & Portfolio Work

• We can handle multiple Newark properties efficiently with competitive rates for repeat jobs.

Once the Artex is removed, you may uncover:

• Plasterboard: The most common base, perfect for skimming.
• Older Plaster: Usually workable but may need patching in places.
• Minor or historic damage: Plasterers can repair cracks, uneven spots and ageing surfaces.

A fresh skim transforms the room completely and gives you a modern, clean finish.

Sometimes, but it’s not always the best option. Risks include:

• Plaster weight may cause the Artex to pull away from the ceiling.
• Loose or hollow areas will still show through.
• If asbestos is present, it remains trapped underneath.
• Light fittings and edges may crack or move over time.

Professional Artex Removal Newark is the safest long-term solution, especially if you want a guaranteed smooth finish.
