DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These come up again and again:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
In older homes in Cothill, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- The parking area
- Visible markings
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
