Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Don’ts

Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Teynham
Do older homes in Teynham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Teynham homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
