For businesses and landlords in Green Cross
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Green Cross, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Typical Artex jobs in Green Cross
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If you’re refurbishing flats near Haslemere station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

FAQs for Green Cross
Could my house in Green Cross contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Green Cross may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Green Cross and the area around Haslemere station?
Yes. Haslemere station is about 3.7 miles south-east of Green Cross, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
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.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Once we are done:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- The access route
- Visible markings
Every job is quoted in writing. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
