DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Eddington questions
Do you cover Eddington from London?
Eddington is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Eddington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Eddington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
