DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Kingston Lisle: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Kingston Lisle?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
