Safety Tips
- Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, and a suitable dust mask or respirator if no asbestos is present).
- Ensure good ventilation.
- Never use power sanders on textured coatings unless you know they are asbestos-free.
- Dispose of waste according to local regulations.
If you're dealing with a property built or decorated before the 1990s, it's worth confirming whether asbestos is present before starting any removal work. If you're in the UK, I can also explain the current guidance on Artex removal and when licensed contractors are required.
