DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Domestic and commercial work
