Asbestos help in Wildmoor
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Artex removal for Wildmoor properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about walls before tiling and ceilings coming down.
Village homes like those in Wildmoor have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Questions from Wildmoor
Do you come out to small villages like Wildmoor?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Wildmoor homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wildmoor can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.

What we deal with in Wildmoor
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Typical jobs in Wildmoor include:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings already disturbed
- Loft conversions
For a school such as The Loddon School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The method and controls
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
