Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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 you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Artex removal for Vernham Street properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and coatings damaged by leaks.
Rural homes near Vernham Street have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
