Questions from Badshot Lea
Do you cover small places like Badshot Lea?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Badshot Lea have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Badshot Lea can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
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.
Typical Artex jobs in Badshot Lea
Older coatings are often painted over many times, 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:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
For a school such as Badshot Lea Village Infant School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
