Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Crown Wood
How far is Crown Wood from London?
We cover Crown Wood, about 29 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Crown Wood homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is my textured ceiling in Crown Wood asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
