Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Your questions about Artex removal in Waddesdon
Do you come out to small villages like Waddesdon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Waddesdon contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Waddesdon can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
