Common questions in Broadstone
Do textured ceilings in Broadstone homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Broadstone 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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Broadstone, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
