Common questions in Alverstone Garden Village
Do textured ceilings in Alverstone Garden Village homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Sandown station?
Yes, we cover Alverstone Garden Village and the area towards Sandown station, about 1.3 miles south-east.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Weighing up your options
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
