Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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.
Hampton Wick: your questions answered
Could my house in Hampton Wick contain asbestos?
Any home in Hampton Wick built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Hampton Wick home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is my textured ceiling in Hampton Wick asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
