Rural homes near Brewer Street have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Why people call us in Brewer Street

Your questions about Artex removal in Brewer Street
Do you work near Merstham station?
Yes, we cover Brewer Street and the area towards Merstham station, about 2.2 miles west.
Could my house in Brewer Street contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brewer Street may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, 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.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
