Need Artex removal in Brighton Hill?
Brighton Hill: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Brighton Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Brighton Hill and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Brighton Hill, and we cover both.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
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.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
About our artex removal in Brighton Hill
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Homes in areas like Brighton Hill may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Step by step
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Dig out previous surveys
Ask for a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
