Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Where asbestos turns up

Common questions in Anvil Green
Is the Artex in my Anvil Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Anvil Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Anvil Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
After we’ve finished in Anvil Green
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
