Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

The cost depends on:

Questions from Bow Brickhill
Could my house in Bow Brickhill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Bow Brickhill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Duty holders and landlords in Bow Brickhill
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bow Brickhill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bow Brickhill
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by DIY
If you are refurbishing a rental near Bow Brickhill station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
