How artex removal works in Brackenbury Village
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From walls before tiling and coatings in the way of electrical work, we cover swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Ceilings in Brackenbury Village conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Brackenbury Village
Do older homes in Brackenbury Village have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Brackenbury Village homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in Brackenbury Village?
We do: our area includes Brackenbury Village and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
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 does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
Read how we quote and our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
After we’ve finished in Brackenbury Village
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Keeping things safe:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
