Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Godden Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Artex removal for Godden Green properties
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. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings before plastering, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Godden Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
FAQs for Godden Green
Do textured ceilings in Godden Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Godden Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
