Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Great Mongeham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Great Mongeham questions
Is the Artex in my Great Mongeham home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Great Mongeham from London?
We cover Great Mongeham, about 66 miles from central London.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Waste paperwork for every removal
