Artex removal in Brookwood
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Artex removal in Brookwood
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are textured walls, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Rural homes near Brookwood have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Visible markings
- Where we could park

- Approximate dimensions

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
