DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your options compared
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations
Take a look at how we price jobs and the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Don’ts
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Broughton Crossing: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Broughton Crossing?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Broughton Crossing homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Broughton Crossing asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work in Broughton Crossing?
Yes. We cover Broughton Crossing and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

For businesses and landlords in Broughton Crossing
For managing agents and freeholders in Broughton Crossing, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in Broughton Crossing:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If you are refurbishing a rental near Aylesbury station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
