Common situations in older properties include:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings coming down
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For a school such as Wyvern School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Do textured ceilings in Old Wolverton homes contain asbestos?

What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is my textured ceiling in Old Wolverton asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
After the job
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
