Many trades want a test result first.

- Extensions that cut into ceilings

Colliers Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Colliers Green from London?
We cover Colliers Green, about 37 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Colliers Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
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 if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
