- We go through the options and send a quote

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What we deal with in Further Quarter
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in Further Quarter:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings coming down

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
