Materials, one by one
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Broad Oak, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Broad Oak
Could my house in Broad Oak contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Broad Oak home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
