Asbestos help in Chadlington
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
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.
About our artex removal in Chadlington
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and loft conversions, including coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In towns and villages like Chadlington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

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.
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.
Questions from Chadlington
Do you come out to small villages like Chadlington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Chadlington homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
