Why people call us in Brighthampton
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
Non-domestic buildings like Mulberry Bush School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Common questions in Brighthampton
Do you cover Brighthampton from London?
Brighthampton is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Brighthampton homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Brighthampton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
