About our artex removal in Bracknell
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about textured walls before a refit and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
In a large place like Bracknell, textured ceilings are common in homes built or refurbished before 2000, and renovation is when they need testing. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Options to consider in Bracknell
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

FAQs for Bracknell
Do you cover Bracknell and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes. Bracknell station is close to the centre of Bracknell, and we cover the whole area.
Do textured ceilings in Bracknell homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bracknell, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What happens
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, with no sanding or dry scraping. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move things out of the way carefully

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
