FAQs for Holmethorpe
Could my house in Holmethorpe contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Holmethorpe can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Holmethorpe homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.

What we deal with in Holmethorpe
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
For a school such as East Surrey College, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
