Duty holders and landlords in Betsham
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

FAQs for Betsham
Do you cover Betsham and the area around Longfield station?
Yes, we cover Betsham and the area towards Longfield station, about 1.7 miles south.
Do older homes in Betsham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
