What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Hillgrove were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Why people call us in Hillgrove
