Artex removal near Brighstone
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
In places like Brighstone, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Brighstone
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by DIY
A school like Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
For businesses and landlords in Brighstone
If you run a business from older premises in Brighstone, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.

Don’ts

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How we work
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Get in touch with photos
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear the way to the work area
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
