Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your questions about Artex removal in Quelm Park
Do textured ceilings in Quelm Park homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Quelm Park and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Quelm Park and the area towards Bracknell station, about 1 mile south.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is my textured ceiling in Quelm Park asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.

Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
