DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
South Weirs questions
Do you work near Brockenhurst station?
Yes. Brockenhurst station is about 0.9 miles east of South Weirs, and we cover both.
Do older homes in South Weirs have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Weirs may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
