For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Brimsdown were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- Approximate dimensions

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

FAQs for Brimsdown
Do you work near Brimsdown station?
Yes. Brimsdown station is close to the centre of Brimsdown, and we cover the whole area.
Is the Artex in my Brimsdown home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
