Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
