Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Going forward:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets away
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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.
Monk's Gate: your questions answered
Could my house in Monk's Gate contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Monk's Gate and the area around Horsham station?
Yes, we cover Monk's Gate and the area towards Horsham station, about 2.6 miles north-west.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
