After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your plasterer after removal

Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
How artex removal works in Brunswick
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In Brunswick, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Brunswick
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Brunswick questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Brunswick and the area around Brighton station?
Yes. Brighton station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Brunswick, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
