DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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.
Artex removal for Brownbread Street properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and landlord refurbishments, we cover coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Brownbread Street, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Brownbread Street
Could my house in Brownbread Street contain asbestos?
Any home in Brownbread Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Battle station?
Yes. Battle station is about 4.9 miles east of Brownbread Street, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
