DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Textured ceilings in Mountain Street
Mountain Street is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Mountain Street is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Mountain Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
For rented flats close to Chilham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. A school like Chilham should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 4 miles of Mountain Street, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

FAQs for Mountain Street
Do you work near Chilham station?
Yes, we cover Mountain Street and the area towards Chilham station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
How far is Mountain Street from London?
We cover Mountain Street, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
