Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Your questions about Artex removal in Chartway Street
Do textured ceilings in Chartway Street homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Harrietsham station?
Yes. Harrietsham station is about 3 miles north-east of Chartway Street, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chartway Street must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
