DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets away
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

What else we do in Plaistow Green
Plaistow Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Plaistow Green from London?
Plaistow Green is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Plaistow Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Plaistow Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How much does Artex removal cost in Plaistow Green?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Plaistow Green
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings coming down
A school like Cranbourne Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The documents you will receive
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Which option is right?
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
