Your options compared
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Give us room sizes
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Common questions in Mongewell
Do you cover small places like Mongewell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Mongewell from London?
Mongewell is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
The process
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
