Some practical advice:

Avoid these
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Artex removal near Tingewick
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and damaged or cracked coatings, including stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Rural homes near Tingewick have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
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.

Questions from Tingewick
Do you cover Tingewick from London?
We cover Tingewick, about 53 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Tingewick?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
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 to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
