Asbestos help in Cooper Street
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How artex removal works in Cooper Street
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Cooper Street. People often contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and loft conversions and extensions, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
In towns and villages like Cooper Street, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the test result and waste note
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Cooper Street: your questions answered
Do older homes in Cooper Street have asbestos?
Any home in Cooper Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Cooper Street home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
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.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

We do: our area includes Cooper Street and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
