Questions from Chapel Row
Do you cover Chapel Row from London?
We cover Chapel Row, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Chapel Row?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up

Common situations in older properties include:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before plastering
If you’re refurbishing flats near Pevensey Bay station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Duty holders and landlords in Chapel Row
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
