After we have finished in Peaslake
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the test result and waste note
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Peaslake: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Peaslake?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Peaslake from London?
We cover Peaslake, about 26 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Materials, one by one

Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Step by step
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. It helps if we can park nearby.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
