Artex removal in Bray Wick
Artex removal for Bray Wick properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Common materials are stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Bray Wick have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Bray Wick
Do you work near Maidenhead station?
Yes, we cover Bray Wick and the area towards Maidenhead station, about 1.4 miles north-west.
Do you cover Bray Wick from London?
We cover Bray Wick, about 26 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
