Questions from Kingston Bagpuize
Is asbestos common in Kingston Bagpuize homes?
Any home in Kingston Bagpuize built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Kingston Bagpuize homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is my textured ceiling in Kingston Bagpuize asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

For businesses and landlords in Kingston Bagpuize
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Kingston Bagpuize, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Why people call us in Kingston Bagpuize
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like John Blandy Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
