For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Your questions about Artex removal in Lower Morden
Is asbestos common in Lower Morden homes?
Any home in Lower Morden built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Lower Morden with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
