DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
FAQs for Brookgreen
Is asbestos common in Brookgreen homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Brookgreen home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After we have finished in Brookgreen
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- File the test result and waste note

Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

Helpful guides
Typical Artex jobs in Brookgreen
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If your home is one of the older properties in Brookgreen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
