About our artex removal in Eynsford

Eynsford questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Eynsford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you cover Eynsford?
Yes, Eynsford is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Eynsford, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
