Common questions in Dartmouth Park
Is the Artex in my Dartmouth Park home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do older homes in Dartmouth Park have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Non-domestic buildings like Acland Burghley School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Duty holders and landlords in Dartmouth Park
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
