Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Artex removal for Brookside properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and rented flats before redecoration, we cover Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
In towns and villages like Brookside, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Brookside
Do you cover Brookside and the area around Ascot station?
Yes, we cover Brookside and the area towards Ascot station, about 1.3 miles south.
Do textured ceilings in Brookside homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How much does Artex removal cost in Brookside?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
