Should you do it yourself?
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.
Questions from Church Crookham
Do older homes in Church Crookham have asbestos?
If your home in Church Crookham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Church Crookham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
