FAQs for Minster Lovell
Do older homes in Minster Lovell have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Minster Lovell may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Minster Lovell from London?
Minster Lovell is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we deal with in Minster Lovell
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Typical jobs in Minster Lovell include:
- Walls before tiling
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented flats before redecoration

A school like St Kenelm's Church of England (VC) School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Duty holders and landlords in Minster Lovell

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Test every different coating
- Photos help us quote
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
