Artex removal for Brambridge
Artex removal for Brambridge properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. From ceilings before skimming and walls before tiling, we deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Brambridge have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Brambridge
Do you cover Brambridge from London?
Brambridge is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Brambridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Duty holders and landlords in Brambridge
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Brambridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
