Wootton questions
Do textured ceilings in Wootton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Wootton and the area around Ryde Esplanade station?
Yes. Ryde Esplanade station is about 3.3 miles east of Wootton, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
Where asbestos turns up
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wootton:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by leaks
In older homes in Wootton, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
