DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
Things not to do
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
