Doing 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.

Common questions in Tisman's Common
Do textured ceilings in Tisman's Common homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Tisman's Common homes?
If your home in Tisman's Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
