For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Questions from Warner Estate
Is asbestos common in Warner Estate homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Walthamstow Central station?
Yes. Walthamstow Central station is about 0.8 miles south of Warner Estate, and we cover both.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Warner Estate
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
If you are refurbishing a rental near Walthamstow Central station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
