Helpful guides
Questions from Pagham
Do textured ceilings in Pagham homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Pagham contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

What else we do in Pagham
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Send photos of the coatings
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Test before the builders arrive.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
