Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Horton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Options to consider in Horton
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask about the method and the waste. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Horton questions
Do you work near Sunnymeads station?
Yes, we cover Horton and the area towards Sunnymeads station, about 1 mile west.
Is the Artex in my Horton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
