What happens next
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After we have finished:
- File the test result and waste note
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
How we work
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Parkgate
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you are refurbishing flats near Holmwood station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- What is not included
- The method and controls
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Parkgate questions
Do older homes in Parkgate have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Parkgate can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Parkgate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
