Duty holders and landlords in Mystole
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Houses, flats and business premises
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East
See how we quote or our cost guide.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once we’re done:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

Typical Artex jobs in Mystole
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings coming down
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
If your home is one of the older properties in Mystole, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Mystole questions
Do you cover small places like Mystole?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Mystole asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
