Mount Pleasant: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Mount Pleasant homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Is my textured ceiling in Mount Pleasant asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What happens
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- 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
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Mount Pleasant, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mount Pleasant must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote
- Give us room sizes
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
