Asbestos help in Brimpton Common
How artex removal works in Brimpton Common
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Common materials are textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In areas like Brimpton Common, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

Yes. We cover Brimpton Common and the surrounding area as part of West Berkshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Brimpton Common were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
