Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
Our team wears protective equipment, and the room stays closed. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

Bradwell: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Bradwell homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Bradwell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
How much does Artex removal cost in Bradwell?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
