Artex removal near Brimpton
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Brimpton. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and structural work through coated ceilings, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In places like Brimpton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Brimpton
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If your home is one of the older properties in Brimpton, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
The process
If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Looking after things afterwards

- Book your plasterer after removal
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away

What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Reports and results you can share
- Houses, flats and business premises

Brimpton questions
Is asbestos common in Brimpton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Brimpton and the area around Midgham station?
Yes, we cover Brimpton and the area towards Midgham station, about 1.4 miles north-east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
