DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For businesses and landlords in Fisher
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Why people call us in Fisher
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Non-domestic buildings like Chichester High School For Girls should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What affects the price in Fisher
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Helpful guides
Fisher: your questions answered
Do you cover Fisher and the area around Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 2.5 miles north of Fisher, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Fisher homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
After we’ve finished in Fisher
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
- File the test result and waste note
- Empty the rooms in advance
What to avoid
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
