Asbestos help in Christmas Pie
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Christmas Pie must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Artex removal near Christmas Pie
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Whether it’s rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In towns and villages like Christmas Pie, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Christmas Pie
Do you come out to small villages like Christmas Pie?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Christmas Pie have asbestos?
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.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
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.
After we’ve finished in Christmas Pie
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Keeping things safe:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
