Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Moulsecoomb questions
Do textured ceilings in Moulsecoomb homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Moulsecoomb have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Moulsecoomb can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you work in Moulsecoomb?
We do: Moulsecoomb is within the area we cover in Brighton and Hove. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
