FAQs for Coggins Mill
How far is Coggins Mill from London?
We cover Coggins Mill, about 36 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Coggins Mill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the 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.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
