About our artex removal in Brick Hill
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Brick Hill. Typical materials include swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and structural work through coated ceilings.
Rural homes near Brick Hill have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Brick Hill
Do you cover Brick Hill from London?
Brick Hill is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Brick Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How much does Artex removal cost in Brick Hill?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
The process
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
What affects the price in Brick Hill
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- Labels, if any
- How we’d reach it
- The parking area
