Should you do it yourself?
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.
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
- Book your plasterer after removal
Avoid these
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
North Hayling: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like North Hayling?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover North Hayling and the area around Warblington station?
Yes. Warblington station is about 2.1 miles north of North Hayling, and we cover both.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
