Artex removal near Brockbridge
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and coatings already disturbed.
Rural homes near Brockbridge have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Common questions in Brockbridge
Do older homes in Brockbridge have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brockbridge may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Brockbridge homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
For businesses and landlords in Brockbridge
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Send photos of the coatings
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
- 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
