Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Common questions in Kempshott
Do you cover Kempshott from London?
We cover Kempshott, about 48 miles from central London.
Could my house in Kempshott contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kempshott may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Kempshott?
We do: our area includes Kempshott and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
