Artex removal near Brookhampton
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Brookhampton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Options to consider in Brookhampton
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Do you cover small places like Brookhampton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is Artex removal licensed work?

Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
