- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Mansbridge: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Mansbridge home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Mansbridge from London?
Mansbridge is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
