Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Questions from Frogmill
Do textured ceilings in Frogmill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Frogmill from London?
Frogmill is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Keeping things safe:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
