Twineham: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Twineham homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Twineham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards

- Give us room sizes

What to avoid
