Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Questions from Branbridges
Do you cover Branbridges and the area around Beltring station?
Yes, we cover Branbridges and the area towards Beltring station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
Do you cover small places like Branbridges?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
The process
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit

- Let us know where we can park

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
