Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Questions from Lingfield
Do you cover Lingfield and the area around Lingfield station?
Yes. Lingfield station is close to the centre of Lingfield, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Lingfield homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my textured ceiling in Lingfield asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Lingfield?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
