DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For businesses and landlords in Stone Corner
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Options to consider in Stone Corner
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Stone Corner questions
Do textured ceilings in Stone Corner homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Stone Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do you work in Stone Corner?
Yes, Stone Corner is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
