Reboard & Plastering After Asbestos Removal in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex
Removing asbestos artex, asbestos insulation board (AIB) ceilings, or asbestos-containing wall boards leaves the underlying structure exposed. Rather than leaving clients to source a separate contractor, our Brighton & Hove team provides a complete reboard and plastering service following all types of asbestos board and ceiling removal — delivering a seamless, ready-to-decorate finish in one visit.
When Is Reboarding Required?
Reboarding is necessary after the removal of:
- Asbestos textured coatings (Artex) — once removed from plasterboard or solid ceilings, the surface requires re-skimming or full reboarding
- Asbestos insulation board (AIB) ceiling tiles — suspended AIB ceilings are common in 1960s–80s offices, schools, and commercial buildings; once removed, the ceiling void requires new boarding
- AIB partition walls and fire doors — removal of asbestos partition boards leaves structural voids requiring new fire-rated reboarding
- Asbestos floor tiles and adhesive — in some cases, sub-floor reboarding is required before new flooring is laid
- Asbestos cement soffits and internal linings — replacement boarding restores the aesthetic and weatherproofing of the structure
