Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Common questions in Soberton
Is the Artex in my Soberton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Soberton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
