Questions from Wexham Street
Do textured ceilings in Wexham Street homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Wexham Street have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wexham Street can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
