Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings damaged by DIY
If you are refurbishing flats near Bentley (Hampshire) station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

- The method and controls
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The category of work
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view

Weighing up your options
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, with no sanding or dry scraping. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Ensure we can get to the area
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
