Artex removal for Braishfield
How artex removal works in Braishfield
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and textured walls before a refit.
Rural homes near Braishfield have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Duty holders and landlords in Braishfield
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Braishfield, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Braishfield Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Common questions in Braishfield
Do you come out to small villages like Braishfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Braishfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
