DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What we deal with in Lindfield
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
In older properties, we often see:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Walls before tiling
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
A school like Lindfield Primary Academy should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

FAQs for Lindfield
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Haywards Heath station?
Yes. Haywards Heath station is about 1.1 miles south-west of Lindfield, and we cover both.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
