For businesses and landlords in Hungerford Green
If you run a business from older premises in Hungerford Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hungerford Green, 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.

Common questions in Hungerford Green
Is the Artex in my Hungerford Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Hungerford Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you cover Hungerford Green?
Yes. We cover Hungerford Green and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Book your plasterer after removal
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
